Where to swap a drum kit?

[vinnie83]

Hoping someone here may be able to help!

I have a Roland TD-6V electronic drum kit, hardly used that I want to swap for a proper drum kit.

It's a fantastic bit of kit for practise and recording I'm sure, but it just isn't fun to have a bash on!

I would really like to just swap it for a half decent acoustic kit so I will actually get some use out of it.

Does anyone have any idea where I may be able to advertise such and offer for a swap? The drum forums I've found from google all seem to be based in the US!

Speak to mates, we managed to get an half decent acoustic drum kit for £75, with three toms. Somebody might want to trade - you never know.

Failing that, try your local music store. Mine does trade-ins, I've got some cracking deals out of it, although admittedly I haven't tried to get any drum stuff.

None of my friends are musicians/drummers so that's a no go.

I did think of local shops but assumed much like a car part ex, they would offer bottom dollar!

www.drumclassifieds.co.uk which is part of www.mikedolbear.com is your best bet by far. You'll get your hand snatched off I'll bet!

A good site ( a cousin of mine, so I know he is trustworthy )

I know someone looking for an electronic kit too, PM if interested.

Thanks for the replies guys, I am in discussion with a lady who would like the kit for her son.

If that falls through, I will try the other options.

Cheers!

How much are you after for it ??

[vinnie83]

I have agreed a price of £400 for it, I will know for sure next week whether they come to collect though.

I will post back and let you know if it sells.

Sorry, it's been sold!

I ended up selling it to my uncle as my younger cousin wanted to lern to play the drums.. £400 seemed like a fair price considering the hassle and costs of Ebay etc.

Unfortunately, I now need a new TV so looks like the money will be going elsewhere too!
