WANTED: Old Drum Sets, Drums & Parts
Do you have a tired or unwanted old drum set that needs saving?
As a retired drummer, my hobby is refreshing tired old drum kits into usable sets; so I can offer them to new drummers for a fraction of the cost of a new set.
Every set is stripped, inspected & cleaned. Wherever possible, the worn, damaged, or missing parts are repaired or replaced. I re-wrap the shells in attractive vinyl or fabric and then reassemble them as refreshed drum sets with a new lease of life.
Ideally, I'm looking for complete (but tired) drum sets, and for a really complete one (5+ drums & 3+ cymbals) I'll pay up to $200.00.
I'll also consider partial drum sets, usable drum kit parts, individual drums, cymbal stands, cymbals, etc. They must be cheap (or free) and within a cost-effective driving distance from Wanganui.
See the before and after shots of what I can achieve - and contact me at 021 447481 if you have anything I might be interested in.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
