I found this while cruising the ads today. I have some shells and heads, if there is any interest from the community in helping me get this together, please email me at my address found on my profile.
I have already contacted the poster and asked for some info, and will determine from the answer what course of action to take. It will be a donor kit, so any and all help will be appreciated. I will update in the next few weeks as to what, if anything, I need, and if youse guys, and girls, would be so generous as to help a brutha out, once again, with his passion, it will be sorely appreciated by giver(s) and recipient.
Let me know what you may have. My preliminary list is going to be for el cheapo bronze, or likely more to the point, brass, sheet type, for hats and maybe a crash/ride and a low dollar hat stand, snare stand and straight stand. Don't have anymore stands I can let go of. My last three donor kits took some good stands and pedals, but I think I have a bass pedal that I put out.
At this point, I am uncertain as to exactly what I will be sending. If you read the post, he is "beginning to come out of his room"...and has not played on at least 18 years, more likely longer. I may just go with a snare and hats, maybe a complete jungle or cocktail type set up....just waiting for the cuz to get there and let me know what the recip is up to.

I am looking for a used complete drum kit for my cousin who is a Vet of Vietnam. He has been in his room for the past 18 years and is starting to come out of it and he was once a drummer and I am trying to find a set for him so he can concentrate on them. I am moving back to Minnesota where he lives July 1st and just don't have a lot of money to buy a set but just want to check out there if there is a playable set that someone would like to get rid of cheap for a great cause. Thanks for reading this.
