Purecussion RIMS kit

[Stoli]

I own a Purecussion RIMS kit. You know the ones with no shells from the late 80's or early 90's? Anyway, the kit has: 10" 12" and 14" toms and either a 20" or 22" kick I can't remember off hand. I have the tom mounts, an extra 14" rim with missing parts and gig bag to put the whole thing in. The kit is in very good condition and sounds great.

I know they don't make them anymore and they are hard to find. My question is, what is the whole thing worth nowadays?

I have played on those before.. I use to also use them in drum lessons and they were pretty cool and so easy to travel with.

Since you do not see many on Ebay and it is an item that has a limited following it would be difficult to put a price on them.

For me, if I was in the market $200 - $300 would be a price I would pay if I really wanted them.

Would you take $50 for them?

Just kidding...

[Stoli]

Thanks for the reply. 200 or 300 isn't bad. I've been tossing around the idea of getting rid of them. They are great for travel but I have no place to keep them while trying to make more room in my one bedroom apartment. I used them last on a European tour of small venues. They were a breeze! And sound great! But that was back in early 2004. In a perfect world my debts will be paid off and I'll own a house with a garage to have all of my drum stuff set up inViolin but until then......

Stoli,
Hi, I was just wondering if you were interested in selling your Purecussion Rims
kit. I've been looking for one for a couple of years as the venues I'm playing are getting smaller and I'm getting older. If you are interested please let me know.

Thanks,

Ill give you a hundred if they arent trashed.

A thing is worth what someone will pay for it. And yours are worth more than a hundred. I sold a set about two years ago. And I think it went for 175. Dont Remember.

[Stoli]

Guys,

I probably should sell some of my stuff but I'm having a hard time letting things go. When I was a kid I didn't know what I had and sold it; an all original '70 Premier Silver Sparkle 4 peice with 20" kik and 2000 snare! I wish I still had it. Having said that if I did sell the Purecussions it wouldn't be for less than I paid for them.

As for the condition, they are in good condition; not trashed.

Thanks for asking.

If you haven't sold that purecussion kit, I may be interested for your asking price. Photos? Thanks

Are these with the PTS (preadjusted tension) or adjustable tension heads? Big difference in price.

[Stoli]

These are tunable.

[kevins]

These are tunable.
Wow, you still got em??
You really are having trouble letting go......:)

[Stoli]

Yes, I still have them.

They sound great and are very useful :)

[kevins]

Word brother....
Are those similar to Arbiter Flats?
I've been pondering looking into those of late.
Thanks

[Stoli]

They are similar but not the same. I don't think the Arbiters are tunable.

[kevins]

Thanks man !!!..........
I think they use a single key tuning system, though.

[mcjnic]

I realize this is going to be hard to believe...but I owned a set of these. I gave a set of the Arbiter Flats away two years ago to my church. It's still there. Has the snare, cases, and all. It is key tuned, but the key has a very large triangular plastic handle. I've still got several of the keys. If you are seriously interested...I can more than likely get them from the church for a short sale. Let me know.

I have a set of purecussions that I bought new ($750.00). That included a
10", 12" and 14" Toms with a 20" kick. I bought the retro kit to change out
heads ($100.00). Plus my wife bought me the 16" Tom. The Kick I never liked,
but used it on small gigs. The main problem with them is the rubber mounts,
over time they crack and break. Happy Drummin

I was sitting in my van at a curb one Sun. morning about 6: A.M. waiting for a business contact to open and I saw this woman carting stuff out of her Apt. and putting it at the curb. Out came this big bag that looked like an enormous cymbal bag. I got out and asked her if she was chucking this stuff or setting up a yard sale. No, yard sale----her bf, was not so cool and was in jail(fed) so, to get back at him she was throwing all his stuff out and leaving. I could take the bag , she said it was drum stuff. I put it in the van and didn't open it until I got home in the evening-----it was an entire 5 piece Rims Kit with cymbal arms and all mounts. no snare but I have a couple of Trixon Speedfire snares---which were hung off the bass on a modified tom mount so the lavender sparkle one works perfectly on the kit. it is a really handy kit. If the former owner is reading-----you can have it back, though----i feel a little sheepish. I polished them and everything. I'll give you free lessons . can't have the Trixon snare though. I have to go, there's a knock at my doo

I'm wondering if it's possible to put triggers on a Rims kit.....

[RogerSling]

I'm wondering if it's possible to put triggers on a Rims kit.....

You can put triggers on a cat, if you have a mind to. The kit really doesn't dictate it.

[sniper]

Thanks, I know nothing about triggers etc. So I wasn't sure if it made a difference.
