Used drum kits in Brantford typically sell for C$225 to C$1,150 (about $160 to $810). Kits are sold as bundles of parts, and what raises the price is completeness rather than the shells alone.
Selling a drum kit in Brantford
Brantford sits on the Grand River and is where the telephone was first developed, with a manufacturing history that has been rebuilding around a downtown university campus. It is a working city rather than a commuter one, though it is close enough to the larger centres to draw people priced out of them.
The downtown is compact and driving is easy throughout the city, with parking rarely a constraint. For anything large, this is one of the more straightforward places in the province to arrange a collection.
On tools, ask whether they were used in a trade or at home. Trade tools here are often better made and better maintained, but they have done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Brantford, in Ontario, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Brantford
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Take a head off and look. Damaged edges stop a drum tuning properly and are expensive to recut.
