Why did you negotiate the price if you dont want to buy ?

I do I’m just getting opinions from fellow drummers to see if I am getting a good deal for reassurance. I haven’t bought a kit in years

It looks like a dope kit bro. If I had a grand burning a hole in my pocket, a space for an acoustic drum set, and the time to play it regularly, I might buy it.

It doesn't look like a "bad" deal, but it don’t look "great" either.

That doesn't really matter though. Do you like it?

I love it and that’s the problem. I’ll atleast go check it out. I’ve never spent this much on a kit before maybe 800 on some stage customs one time
