Hardcases for sale

Posted By : Tubthumper | Comments : 26

in near mint condition

I'm selling a number of hardcases off as I prefer to use softcases. These came with a drum kit I bought off ebay and were less than 6 months old when purchased. I've never gigged them and aside from a few minor scuff marks they're in near new condition with all straps and fastenings in perfect condition.

I've listed the prices Manchester Drum Centre are selling them at new and also the cheapest prices I could find on ebay for comparison.

They are the new hardcases which are stackable and have 3 individual straps around the case with clip fasteners. The bass drum case has, in addition, handles either side for ease of carrying by 2 people (it also has wheels).

There is no more secure way of transporting your drums - ideal where others may handle your drums or when you travel together in a van and softcases don't offer quite so much peace of mind.

Ideally, I'd like to sell a number of them as a set and will then shift the remainder on ebay if needs be. I've listed a couple of set "deals" for typical British and American Rock configurations.

My prices are in the right hand column (the text hasn't lined up as typed for some reason). The first column is Manchester Drum Centres price listing and the middle column is ebay

oops-sorry, tt!! when you said "hardcases" - i thought you meant these!!! ;-(

i'll get me leathers

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 19:49 (GMT)

Very droll. I got all excited then at a reply. I thought I was going to be able to eat next week!

# Posted by viking - 01/12/2011, 19:54 (GMT)

sheesh! no gratitude, some folks-here's me posting a comment so it looks like you've got a "nibble" and someone else will come and check out your 'wares-and all i get back is passive aggressiveness 'cause (s)he "might not eat next week!................. PAH! ............."eat next week"???? -LUXURY!!! ;-P

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 20:11 (GMT)

I'm not passive aggressive...just aggressive. I'm misunderstood!

# Posted by viking - 01/12/2011, 20:35 (GMT)

(if we keep this going you might get to the top of the "blog posts"-people will think there's a scramble for your goodies -voila!!! )
"just aggressive"? -ah! i see- a bit like the "nice russian girl" who mailed me on myspace a long time ago-her blurb included -"i like the look of your picture-you look cute and kind-just the sort of man i could be very affectionate to!".

i got excited at first-until i remembered my profile picture at the time was....................

and i realised she might want to play just a little bit too rough for fragile norselander me!!! ;-/

Just remembered why I prefer our drummer with her 12" by 18" x 1" kit in a suitcase. Someone clever should invent quick release heads and then you'd need just the one case!

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 20:40 (GMT)

Maybe she was just taken by the length of your tail!

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 20:42 (GMT)

I need an epic kit to remind everyone there that it's all about me. None of this folding up into a handbag nonsense for me thanks. After all where would I hang my gig donkey and wedge all the spare sticks I need (for when the ones in my hands have been wanged at the back of other people's heads)?

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 20:46 (GMT)

Maybe its the size of the kit (and I had thought that was a solely male preserve) that makes the audience turn their backs on you? Still not right to throw sticks at them though ;-)

# Posted by viking - 01/12/2011, 20:48 (GMT)

@tubthumper-indeed!!! the reality was never going to match up to the fantasy of that tail-with such an obviously s&m orientated woman my life would have been in serious danger-not mention what tail i DID have??? ;-/

@ guy-(s)he certainly has thoughts on the size of one's kit-see the comment above re:"tail"!!! ;-P

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 20:50 (GMT)

@ viking - are you familiar with Nic's rationale for being a drummer?

# Posted by viking - 01/12/2011, 20:51 (GMT)

@guy-not entirely, dude-do tell, do tell!!!! ;-D

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 20:54 (GMT)

Someone told her that drummers get all the sex and given her career as a russian s&m spambot wasn't producing the results...

# Posted by viking - 01/12/2011, 20:59 (GMT)

@guy-pmsl!!!! :-D

mind-the guys in my band told me that at first ("all the sex for drummers")-especially iffen said drummer carried in all the gear -"thus showing off his muscles"-whilst the rest of the band slouched at the bar having a pint.
for some reason , didn't work for me?? ;-(

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 21:16 (GMT)

It's never worked for me either. Maybe the blokes are put off by my muscles and bravado way of carrying the whole kit in in one go. Or maybe it's my "I need sex" T-shirt, or my unfortunate resemblance to a bloke...

:(

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 21:28 (GMT)

perhaps you should compensate through wearing a lot of pink sparkly stuff, changing your name to something ultra girly and most of all stop throwing f**king sticks at folk! Speaking as a bloke I always found assault with a sharpened stick with a ball of nylon on the end kind of deadly weapon to be most unattractive in a lady

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 21:34 (GMT)

Sticks with nylon on the end? What kind of pansy do you take me for?

No one's going to come into my thread and peruse my wares now you two have made it all about sex.
Pffft.

My skin is pink. That ought to be girly enough.

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 21:36 (GMT)

and try to be a bit more fluffy - you never know...

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 21:37 (GMT)

and feel free to delete all my comments, wouldn't do to let a fellow NWBer starve this close to christmas too ;-)

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 21:43 (GMT)

I'm very fluffy. And cuddly. But don't cuddle me....I don't like physical contact, unless it's sex.

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 21:49 (GMT)

and yet you hit things inbetween throwing sticks at the audience. is there something Freudian going on? was the russian s&m spambot too close to home ;-)

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 22:01 (GMT)

I throw sticks at the band who occasionally deflect them but that's entirely their fault, and vent my non passive active aggressiveness on the drums. If you'd met my band you would know why. It's for the benefit of mankind as otherwise things would get very messy.

# Posted by Alyerpal - 01/12/2011, 22:02 (GMT)

Tell him about the mallets Tubs....

AYP

# Posted by Tubthumper - 01/12/2011, 22:04 (GMT)

Shhhhhhh. Do you WANT them to think I'm a psycho?!

# Posted by Defunct account - 01/12/2011, 22:07 (GMT)

OK. So here's a plan - I'm turning agony aunt here - take the nylon ends off and throw the sticks at the women in the audience thus eliminating potential opposition?

You can remove the evidence in that big pile of boxes you got for sale - with such an epic kit no one would notice that the number of soft and hardcases don't equal the number of drums on display.

:-)

"No one's going to come into my thread and peruse my wares now you two have made it all about sex.

cue!! mr redford!! oops-sorry- i meant mr REDFERN!!! ;-D
