Selling a drum kit in Lubbock
Lubbock is the commercial centre of a vast cotton-growing region on the high plains, with a large state university and a music history that includes one of rock and roll’s founding figures. It is flat, dry and windy.
The university clears student housing each May and the student population is very large relative to the city. Agricultural cycles move equipment across the surrounding region.
The city is flat and on a grid, so addresses are easy and parking is straightforward. Dust storms occur and reduce visibility badly, so agree a fallback in the windy season.
Fine dust gets into everything here during the windy season. Check filters, vents and fans on anything electrical before judging how well it performs.
Lubbock, in Texas, has around 260,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Houston, San Antonio and Dallas are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Lubbock
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

What drum kits are worth
What lifts the price
- Shells with no cracks or bearing edge damage
- Recognised makers with a resale following
What pulls it down
- Missing stands, pedals and clamps
- Damaged bearing edges that prevent proper tuning
Working out what yours is worth
- Lay out every shell, stand, pedal and cymbal and photograph together
- Inspect the bearing edges by removing a head
Getting it ready
- Check every lug, tension rod and the bearing edges, and note whether the heads are usable.
- Say clearly whether cymbals are included, since they are often most of the value.
Photograph
- The kit fully set up, from the front
- Each shell showing its size badge
Put in the description
- Brand, series and the size of every shell
- Every piece of hardware included, listed individually
Lifts in September and before Christmas. Complete kits with hardware sell far faster than shell packs.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
