So long story short ran across this kit. Sizes are 28 and 20 with 16,15,14,13 concert toms. Lots wrong with it, as you can see. Holes drilled into the floor for bass drum spurs. Non-ludwig bass drum spurs and rodgers tom mount on the bass drum. Floor tom also comes with hoops, which is pretty cool. All the concert toms have non-ludwig mounts as well, and all the drums have been painted black on the inside. Bearing edges on bass drum don't look too great either. Guy wants $600, but I can probably get him down to $500. I'd have to drive 2.5 hours one-way just to get them. Worth it?

500 seems too much with all the mods and concert toms, but thats just me.
Thank you!

concert toms aren't worth jack. They have bearing edges so I'd probably drill one of them and put hardware on it to make a normal tom. sell the other three or something.

Good idea, if they're in round.

Cool setup, but it needs a lot of work.
I say stick with a 28/20/16/14 setup. Use the lugs from the 13 and 15 to finish off the 14/16 concert toms with resonant heads and turn the 16" into a floor tom.
When you say "Worth it?", how bad do you want them? Once finished, it will be one thunderous kit. Eye Ball Other than marching bass drums, how often do you see a 28" kit bass drum? Either the 20" floor tom was originally a bass drum and it was converted to be dual purpose floor tom when necessary.
Too bad the drums are drilled for Meriloc hardware, but suspending one 14" tom off the single are should not be an issue. It could get expensive, if you plan to go back to all Ludwig mounts. That is unless you already have the hardware. Plug and patch any holes and paint the interiors white.
Let us know what you decide.

I would pass. To many holes. Wrap is ruined. I would not pay more than $150. I actually wouldn't want them. Someone ruined some perfectly good drums. With correct hardware and that red sparkle wrap it would have been a pretty cool kit.

I don't think I'm gonna do it. Too much work for a kit that I might not even like. 28 is a huuuuge kick. and a 20 inch floor tom is almost unmanageable.
