Buying Guide
1Always replace the drum heads before judging a used kit's sound. Old heads make any drum sound terrible.
2Check the bearing edges for damage — this is the most important factor in a drum's ability to tune properly.
3Inspect all tension rods and lugs. Cross-threaded or stripped lugs are common and tedious to repair.
