A few years back, I bought a 2nd hand black Ludwig fiberglass (acrylic?) drum set for 15K. According to the seller, it was used on a cruise ship. I'm now planning to sell it because I really have no use for it (I'm a bassist). And besides, it's already unusable. Stands are already rusty and the post for the toms is already broken. It really needs major repair (and some hardware replacement). But the shells are in very good condition. That's the only reason why I keep them. I was planning to have them repaired but I think I'll need a lot of money for that.

The problem is, I don't know how much to sell them for. I don't want to overprice and at the same time I don't want to be duped into selling them for less than they're worth.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Here are the pics:














I'll also include the snare and sticks that came with the set when I bought it:











I think I still have the kick pedal, but I'll have to look for it. I'll include that in the package if ever I see it. Too bad a friend who borrowed the cymbals did not return them.

For more pics, just go to:

probably you have a vistalite if i'm not mistaken. since your a bassist probably you know a drummer or two, better ask them about how much this line of kit sells in the market nowadays. they can be more accurate in assessing the true value of your kit.

It is a 1975 black Vistalite with concert toms.

Here's a mint condition, regular tom version of that:


If you want to know how concert toms sound like, listen to old disco songs. :)

thanks for the info sir.

what I wanna know, though, is the price. How much can I sell them for?

Btw, my toms (hi & low) do not have mounting holes for the hardware for the skins at the bottom. Parang open talaga  yung underside nya.

Walang bottom tension lugs for concert toms, kaya medyo boxy sound siya.

Hindi ko ma-estimate yung price dahil sa condition niya e. Check mo ebay, baka may makita kang item in similar condition.
