What a used electronic drum kit is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for electronic drum kits, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £700 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £595 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £455 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £315 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £175 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a electronic drum kit
- Mesh heads rather than rubber pads
- Modules still supported with available spares
- All cables, loom and rack clamps present
- Recognised brands with a following
What lowers it
- Dead or double-triggering pads
- Torn mesh heads
- Missing looms and rack clamps, which are specific
- Discontinued modules with no support
How to work out what yours is worth
- Play every pad and check for consistent triggering
- Inspect mesh heads for tears
- Confirm the loom, clamps and power supply are present
Once you have those three answers you can place your own electronic drum kit on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
What makes an electronic kit worth more?
Mesh heads and a supported module. Rubber-pad kits sell for considerably less because they feel much less like real drums.
What is double triggering?
A pad registering two hits from one strike, usually a worn sensor. It is the most common fault and buyers test for it.
Is the loom important?
Yes. Looms are module-specific multi-way cables and expensive to replace, so a kit without one is a difficult sell.
