I borrowed these from a freind to give drumming a try. Maxx five piece, everything has Remo pinstripes. Zidjian Scimitar crash and ride and Paiste highhats. Tama kick pedal. Johnny Rabb sticks. They are pretty out of tune, but that can be corrected. He has decided he likes the extra room and I want to stick this out to see if I can develop any skill(Not showing itself yet) And yes that is a high back chair for a throne, got to do something about that.
Anyhow, he appears to be asking $100, this seems reasonable to me, but I found little on the "Maxx" name. Thoughts?
Thanks, Chuck

Don't know Maxx. Looks very entry-level. But for $100 it will probably get you started and see where it takes you. Not much downside with the cymbals included. You should be able to sell it if you decide to upgrade and come out w/o a loss.

I am liking the chair actually. Probably more comfy.

It is very handy for when you drop the beat and lean back in momentary resignation. It is also pretty steady due to the firm placement in my late seventies shag carpet.

One of my customers was the drummer for Cry of Love. I am going to see if I can barter some learning out of him. I have set my expectations a little lower than I did when I took up the bass(Not a good idea to have Rush and Primus as your fave bands) This time I will be looking to the Ramones and the Stray Cats. Might have to do Outsider as a lounge song to get it slow enough to match my skill level.

I think you have a pretty good deal on your hands....like you said, you want to see if you can develop and skill, and with a beginner set like this, you've got it made. Although I haven't heard of Maxx drums before, you have some great products like Tama, Paiste, and Zildjian.

I think anyone would be a fool not to take this offer. I mean, I got a drum set free from my uncle a few years back, and although it's condition wasn't great, and I didn't have the money to upgrade, it served its purpose and now with a new set, I really appreciate how lucky I am and was for all those years.

Seriously look into it,

I don't see how you could lose on this. For $100 you can see if this is for you, if not sell em for $200

As others have said, $100 for a full 5 piece and cymbals, you can't go wrong. Although it's just an entry level kit, it's a great deal!

Off-topic: What does the name "Chuck" remind you of??

Oh gawd....

That chair is pretty much what the roc-n-soc throne is but with the wheels removed... So if you like that chair, use it. Really no difference from a very expensive throne, the seat may be a bit smaller to allow let movement, but just move forward and you are set.

As far as drums go 100 bucks to start out, do it. You'll never find the worst drum sets for less than that, and from the looks of that one it doesn't look like total garbage. If they last 6 months you got a good deal for a starter kit.

Chuck "The Tuna" Norris. Too long to explain here, you just have to go to the thread about cans of tuna in off-topic discussions.
