DW DW Custom Drum Kit 2017 - Exotic Quilted Maple with Ebony Stain Lacquer

DW 5 Piece Custom Kit...is in absolutely mint condition. While this kit was purchased in 2018, it was rarely used. As explained in MyShop description and a copy of an email included below with DW, my late husband became very ill shortly after buying the kit. It truly is in immaculate condition...like brand new!

The price listed includes all that is shown in the pictures: bass drum, 2 floor toms and 2 rack toms with black nickel hardware, 2 rack tom stands, 5 Humes & Berg cases which are in excellent condition and valued at over $900, DW AirLift 9000 series drum throne valued at over $300, a DW Direct Drive hi hat stand which is value at over $500 and 2 DW cymbal stands. I have one set of Zildjian high hat cymbals, however, I have an DW PDP LX kit I’m also selling. I will include the high hat cymbals with the first kit that sells. While I do not have snare drum for this kit, I am including a DW snare stand. I will also include a cymbal for each of the cymbal mounts with this set. The buyer can choose 2 cymbals from the various Zildjian cymbals I have to offer. I've included pictures of email correspondence I had with Dan Diamond with DW in Oxnard, CA regarding the purchases and details of this set. I've also copied and pasted the email below. As Dan states in the email, the building of the kit began in 2017, and would cost around $9000 if purchased new today. So I believe my price is very a good deal for such high quality drums and considering the hardware, stands, cases, etc, that I am including in this sell. I'm just so wanting someone to want this kit and love it as much as my late husband did...It should not be sitting in cases stored in my home...these drums need a passionate drummer...these drums need to make music! I do hope they find a good home soon!!

This correspondence is regarding Order # 1049830. A custom order for an Exotic maple 5

piece shell pack. My husband purchased this kit in 2018. He got ill just a couple years later

and then passed away. I am just now being able to deal with the overwhelming task of

selling this kit along with other drumming equipment he had. I am reaching to DW to obtain

the details of this order and also ask for pictures of this kit in the "White House". I was told

this will include the information and specs I need to accurately describe the kit when listing

it for sale. The kit is in immaculate condition…it’s like brand new. My husband did not gig

with this kit…it was his studio only kit. Since he died it has been properly stored and very well cared for. I’m hopeful someone will be as passionate about this kit as my husband was.  I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
