Anyone have success selling drums online anywhere? I'm getting old and don't really play anymore. They just take up space.

It's a 5-pc Gretsch Renown maple kit in cherry burst with all Bosphorus cymbals, DW pedals, Roc-n-Soc throne, etc.

Should I piecemeal it on eBay or try and sell it whole?

The kit, sell as a whole unless someone is making you an offer you can’t refuse on a single piece.

Hardware and cymbals you can piecemeal.

If you’re lazy, guitar center will give you 60% of what they’re worth on the open market, depending on condition. Looks like that shell pack goes for about $1,100 online.

The problem with trying to sell it all at once is that a gigging drummer may not want that exact configuration of cymbals, shells, hardware, etc., while a beginner drummer with a couple grand to plop down on a “plug and play” setup is going to be hard to find.

Good luck!

I'd check out Reverb before putting it on eBay.

I tend to not get as many lowball offers when listing there.

Drummer here, with a few kits already, but this intrigues me. What are the sizes on these tubs? Is the kick drum virgin or does it have the tom-mount bracket?

...and I definitely agree with Footbaw about giving Reverb a shot over eBay. eBay has become a pain in the arse for sellers.

I’ve had luck on Facebook marketplace, you won’t have to pack or ship anything.
