Zim Gar

Posts: 802 Threads: 149

Nice looking Zim Gar on the Bay, but......is this seller nuts asking six bills??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ZIM-GAR-Brooklyn-NY-Made-Japan-4-Pc-JAZZ-DRUM-SET-/260832132599?pt=Vintgae_Drums_Percussion&hash=item3cbace7df7

No stands, no hardware, not even a mounting arm for the Tom Tom.

I'm thinking $200 max on this set. What do ya think?

A uncle used to have a body and fender shop in that town.A lot of people grow their own weed up there.That set is worth exactly what you said,maybe 225 if I was completely in love with it.

Wow,600.00 for that set is way over priced..More like 150.00 would be the price...Mikey

I emailed the seller and gently told him the drums were worth much less than he was asking. Let's see what he says in reply.

I can imagine it will be very hard to replace that broken BD rim.

They,re very nice drums and sound great.The price needs to come into the 2-250 range though,i have a kit, i know what they are worth.

I had a Zim Gar kit also. The problem I found was sure, you could tune them to sound good, but go play a gig, and after 20 mins they are out of tune because of the cheapo hardware. Snare drums especially.

That being said, my first drum ever was a 1966 Zim Gar snare in Blue Sparkle which I still have and will always keep. I cant gig with it, but its my first drum of what has now been probably 100 or so.
