DW Design Series 12x9, 16x14, 22x18 Shell Pack w/ DW Collector's Snare

When I found these earlier this year, they were a mess. But, loving father that I am, I brought them home and took everything down to the nub. Polished and buffed the raw shells with Drum Detailer. Polished every single piece of metal. Replaced a questionable spur (with a DW Spur). Oh, and was using this with a DW Collector's Bell Brass 14x4 that sounds like an M-80.

What you've got now is a very good - to - excellent set of DW Design Series in the Midnight Blue Lacquer that they should have kept making.

Sizes? 22x18, 12x9, 16x14 and that 14x4 Collector's snare.

Now, let's talk about upgrades here:

First of all, every factory head has been scrapped. Even the Collector's series ship with trash heads. Top and bottom replaced with brand new, never played Evans G2 Coateds on Tom batter and Genera Resonants on the bottom. Kick has a new EMAD II up for your footsies and a pretty slick Vintage DW coated up front. (Evans EQ Pad is also in the kick). Snare has die cast rims. That's a good $350 worth of upgrades right there, without breaking a sweat.

Oh, those bags? Those are Barton GSP which are the plushest, pimp-grade bags you can buy. Super-lux interior that'll keep these safe on the go. Best part? They've NEVER EVEN left the house. Nary a stain or snag to be found.

So... potential downsides - full transparency here - the kick's got a few scapes on the bottom and one nick on the top, likely the original owner denting it with the rack tom. A little bit of pedal rash on the batter hoop. Toms seem very clean all around but there may be the occasional nick. Like I said they're very-good-to-excellent. Not perfect.

None of the hardware or cymbals pictured in the hero shots are included. Was that not obvious? Includes the STM Mount for the tom (found it!) and the three floor tom legs. End of list.

Oh, and if you want this shipped - it's not gonna be cheap. Willing to do a meetup with an hour-or-so of NYC (so Long Island, halfway to Hartford, Central/North Jersey, etc.)

Happy to answer any questions - or relist minus the snare if you are all snared up already (I know I am). Less happy to field bogus messages and absurd lowballs. If you're going to offer $1000 on these? Prepare for a dissertation in return about being a cheap bastige.

Okay, I think that's about it. Oh, right - BUY THESE.
