OK, so to make a long story short some of you may remember me posting about having wrist pain when I play awhile back...well, it turns out that I tore my SL ligament and will be having wrist surgery next month...seeing as I will have wires and pins in my wrist and be in a cast up to my elbow for four months, followed by months of rehab, plus the fact that I am short on money and the drums are just sitting in my room taking up space, I have decided to sell my entire kit with all of the gear I own, most of it not even a year old...this is a great chance for one of you guys to upgrade into a pro-level kit for a killer price and to do so in one fell swoop...
I am going to let you guys have first dibs on the gear before I post it on craigslist next week.
A few things to note...

1) Please respect my wish to sell the kit in it's entirety for the sake of time and convenience...I just don't have the time or patience to sell the kit piece by piece...I already work fifty hours a week and would rather take a loss and sell everything to one serious buyer than have to ship the gear out to twenty different people...so please, do not ask me how much certain single pieces will cost, I will simply ignore your email if you do. If I find that I cannot sell the gear in its entirety (shells, hardware, cymbals, cases) than I will entertain the idea of parting the gear out, but for now I would like to see if I can sell it all to someone who is looking to upgrade their entire setup quickly and painlessly.

2) The kit consists of a 14"X 7" real abalone C&C custom maple snare (blue with white centerstripe), a 12"X8" blue acrylic C&C custom rack tom with geiger mounts, a 16"X14" blue acrylic C&C custom floor tom with geiger mounts and legs, a 22"X20" blue acrylic C&C custom virgin kick drum with black maple hoops...note that all shells feature offsett lugs and either C&C or Geiger hardware...this kit took three months to make and cost over $3,800 new (just the snare was $1000). These drums sat in their hardshell custom sized SKB cases while not in use and are in fantastic used condition...I would say 8.5 out of 10 cosmetically...as far as how they sound, anyone who has ever heard or played C&C's know they are the cleanest and loudest sounding drums on the market...this is by far and away the loudest, best sounding kit I have ever played. Now for the cymbals...they consist of a pair of 17" and 18" Paiste Signature Series Power Crashes, 15" oversized Paiste 2002 Series Sound Edge High-Hats, a 19" Wuhan Traditional China that is huge and monstrous sounding, a "20 Paiste 2002 series Deep Full Ride, and a small Stagg Ice-Chime with an unlathed black top that rings for ages...these cymbals are all FLAWLESS...you will not find a dent, ding, keyhole, or crack in any of these...aside from some dust, dry blood specks, and light stick marks, these cymbals are in LIKE NEW CONDITION, easily a 9/10 cosmetically (every single one). To try and describe how utterly orgasmic these cymbals sound would be impossible...let's just say that there is a reason why Paiste Signature and 2002 series cymbals are some of the most expensive and the most coveted cymbals on the market...just these cymbals alone cost me almost $2000 new. Also included will be a Pearl Powershifter Eliminator Double Pedal with included carrying case and adjustable cams in great shape(red, black, and white cams included), a Pork Pie bicycle throne that is blue with a velvet zebra-striped top that matches the kit beautifully and that you could sit on for hours (also in almost brand new condition), all of the necessary hardware for the entire kit (all Pearl or Gibraltar hardware, for every single drum and cymbal on this kit), a tama rhythmwatch rw105 metronome, a rolls personal monitor (for drummers who play with in-ear monitors or would like to start doing so), a few new as well as used pairs of Vater and Vic Firth sticks, a pair of Ahead Aluminum Joey Jordison sticks, a Vic Firth Practice Pad, a pair of Vic Firth Isolation Headphones, an Evans tension drum tuning key, and some sweet DVD's and books.

3) Once again to see pics of everything go to my myspace page at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/VR4DRUMMER and click on the "pics" tab on my profile...you will see a picture album titled "drums and guitar for sale"...click on that and enjoy the view...
Just so you guys know, I have spent over $7000 on all of the gear...for those of you who don't believe me, feel free to do some research and you will know that I am not BSing you at all...I know that I am going to take a huge loss but if I can make some of my initial investment back plus get all of this gear out of my small bedroom and not have to invest hours of my time trying to sell it than I will be a happy camper...so....drumroll please.....(no pun intended)......as for the price of everything......the first offer I get over $4,000 TAKES IT ALL....email me at alex_bendana@yahoo.com with offers or questions, as long as the question isn't something along the lines of "how much will you sell "X" part for"....like I said, I really want to avoid the hassle of parting it all out so for the time being please don't ask, you will just be wasting your time. Buyer will pay shipping, and I will only accept Paypal, a Cashiers/Bank Check, or a Money Order. Time to see who is going to get one of the most killer deals ever haha...

How much for that beautiful snare ?

you would probably have better luck if you pieced it out,
like the snare, then the kit, then cymbals..
just my opinion

How much for Wuhan China and how much for headphones?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150241329515&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=005

sorry to hear about your wrist injury and operation mate. that is a real nice snare drum you got there (and kit). best wishes for the future.

Alright guys, so am parting the kit out...I am working a little less and will actually have the time to mail the gear out piece by piece to different people...I am not looking to get rich here and you'll see that every piece of this kit is extremely underpriced...I'm just looking to make some of my money back and get these drums out of my room...looking at them every day but not being able to play them is depressing...I also really wanna thank anyone who has sent positive vibes my way regarding my wrist injury...I have the surgery scheduled for this month and hopefully with a little hard work and discipline I'll be back behind a kit by sometime next year
So here is the deal...first person to email me at alex_bendana@yahoo.com reserving the respective gear they want to purchase will take it home...I will email that person with a confirmation and they will then have no more than 24 hours to send payment via paypal to alex_bendana@yahoo.com. I will try to update this thread as soon as each piece of gear is sold in order to save everyone time but please bare with me... hopefully this doesn't turn into a circus...

PRICE LIST

1) 14x7 Oversized C&C Custom Blue/White Abalone Snare with offset lugs and SKB hardshell case - $600.00

2) 12"X8" blue acrylic C&C custom rack tom with geiger mounts and SKB hardshell case, 16"X14" blue acrylic C&C custom floor tom with geiger mounts and legs and SKB hardshell case, and 22"X20" blue acrylic C&C custom virgin kick drum with black maple hoops and SKB hardshell case - $1000

3) 17" Paiste Signature Series Power Crash w/ softshell case/mint cond. - $200

4) 18" Paiste Signature Series Power Crash w/ softshell case/mint cond. - $200

5) 20" Paiste 2002 Series Deep full ride w/ softshell case/mint cond. - $200

6) 19" Oversized Wuhan Traditional China mint cond. - $200

7) 15" Oversized Paiste 2002 Series Sound Edge Hi-Hats - $300

8" Stagg Ice/Bell Chime, unlathed bottom - $20

9) All Pro Hardware (4 Cymbal stands (3 with boom arms, 1 specifically for a ride), 1 Hi-Hats Stand, 1 Snare drum stand, all either pearl or gibraltar) - $200

10) Pork Pie Big Boy Bicycle style throne, blue/zebra-stripe - $80

11) Pearl Powershifter Eliminator Double Pedals w/ carry case great shape - $200

Lastly, if someone is interested I would be willing to sell all of the drums (snare + shells/cases) together as a package for $1,500 which is $100 cheaper than they would cost if you bought them all individually...same deal goes for the cymbals, so if someone wants to purchase all the cymbals together I'll let them go for $1,000 which is also $100 cheaper than buying them individually...it'll make my life a lot easier so I don't mind knocking off some money. Also, please don't try to haggle me...I am already going to be losing a ton of money selling the gear at these prices and I'm not trying to be greedy here, like I said I just want to get this stuff out of my room and make a portion of my investment back...I encourage everyone to do some research and check prices and you'll see that I am practically giving this stuff away. If you wan't a more in-depth description of any item please just read the top of this post.
Happy Hunting

Good deals, but this one is going to be problematic. An 18" Wuhan from Musiciansfriend.com is $29.99 and a 20" is $58.99. You may want to consider lowering this price significantly if you want it to sell.

Thanks for spotting that rufus...I bought that China a long time ago and I guess the prices for those must have dropped significantly...

New price for the 19" Wuhan is $30.00.

Also, I totally forgot to add it in before Buyer will pay shipping costs...UPS ground is usually really cheap but I would encourage any buyers to shop around for the cheapest shipping...the items will be coming from Brooklyn, NY 11211.

are you willing to sell one of those soft cases?

sorry but those cases are for whoever buys the cymbals.

How much are the headphones?

you can have the headphones for $20 plus shipping if you want them.
