I'm selling my complete PDP Concept Classic Walnut drum kit, together with Istanbul Agop Sultan cymbals, Tama S.L.P. Studio Maple snare, PDP hardware and Protection Racket Nutcase cases.
I bought the entire setup brand new and am the original owner of everything included.
The drums were played approximately six times, exclusively for light jazz-style playing, before I had to move house. They were then carefully packed away and stored securely at Big Yellow Storage, where they have remained ever since.
I've now taken everything out of storage for the first time to photograph it for sale.
As a result, the condition is exceptional — essentially near-mint and comparable to an ex-display/store setup.
There is very little playing wear because there simply hasn't been much playing.
PDP Concept Classic 24" Walnut Drum Kit
24" bass drum
13" rack tom
16" floor tom
Walnut finish
Maple shells
Wooden hoops
Remo heads
A beautiful kit both visually and sonically. The 24" bass drum has a fantastic depth and warmth, while the maple shells and walnut finish give the kit a really musical, refined character.
Istanbul Agop Sultan Cymbal Set
14" Sultan hi-hats
16" Sultan crash
20" Sultan ride
Matching cymbal case
These are particularly beautiful-sounding cymbals — warm, dark and musical rather than overly bright or aggressive.
They work brilliantly for jazz and more understated playing, but are versatile enough for a wide range of styles.
Tama S.L.P. Studio Maple Snare — 14" x 6.5"
One of the highlights of the setup.
The maple shell and wooden hoops give this snare a wonderfully warm, rounded and resonant character. It's a beautiful complement to the PDP kit and Sultan cymbals.
PDP Stands / Hardware
Matching PDP drum hardware and stands are included, so this isn't simply a shell pack — it is a complete setup ready to assemble and play.
Protection Racket Nutcase Drum Cases
High-quality Protection Racket Nutcase cases for the drums are included.
The cases have also been stored safely and are in excellent condition.
Near-mint / excellent used condition throughout.

I've photographed the equipment as it currently is, so please look carefully through all of the photographs.
I would describe this as about as close to buying new as you're likely to get without actually buying from a shop.
I think this would make an exceptional setup for someone getting into drums who doesn't want to start with entry-level equipment and then spend the next few years replacing everything.
Everything is already here:
Quality PDP drums + professional Istanbul Agop cymbals + Tama S.L.P. snare + PDP hardware + Protection Racket cases.
It's a beautiful-sounding, beautifully made and genuinely complete setup.
You could collect it, take it home, set it up and start playing.
The Sultan cymbals in particular sound fantastic, and the combination with the PDP shells and Tama maple snare makes this a really enjoyable kit to sit down and play.
The current new replacement cost of the main components is around £3,000, before taking into account the excellent condition of this particular setup and the discontinued/less readily available Tama S.L.P. snare.
The PDP Concept Classic 24" Walnut shell pack alone is currently around £1,255 new, with the Istanbul Agop Sultan cymbal set and case around £800+, Protection Racket cases around £195, and the PDP hardware adding several hundred pounds more at current retail pricing.
I'm therefore asking £2,695 for the complete package.
This represents a substantial saving against buying the equivalent setup new, while getting equipment that has seen remarkably little use.
Collection only from Norwich, Norfolk.
The complete setup is too large and heavy to make sensible posting arrangements, and I'd much prefer the buyer to see and inspect everything in person.
You're welcome to arrange a time to come and look at the kit before purchasing.
Because this is a complete setup and everything is being sold together, I'm not currently looking to split the package.
Please message me through eBay if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking.
