Saw a mid 60's blue sparkle Rogers drum kit today, (holiday model - 22" bass drum, one 12" rack tom, and one 16" floor). The snare was a new little piccilo though, and not matching in color. This friend has a Rogers Powertone crome snare in his collection that I would rather have if I buy that kit,, and "if" he is willing to sell it. (Would be more of course than $415. total). The kit is reconditioned to like new. Comes with one old Avedis Zildjian 22 crash/ride and good new stool. No high hat, but I can buy two old 15' Avedis symbols from him and get a stand on my own. Same with more symbols, (he has them) and maybe I would get another tom.

If I get this kit, it will be well after Christmas for obvious reasons. But he wants only $415, since we kind of know each other. (Charging only cost for the new heads, snare and and it's stand, and the standard kit he bought cheap.

Would I be taking advantage of him? He put a lot of time into them, but says it's his labor of love. Is that basic 4 piece kit with a new stool worth a lot more than $415. though?

UPDATE: (12-04-02): I have the drums! And my good friend Ron is loaning me 3 Avedis Zildjian symbols, and the same make hi-hats, all with great stands!
