    I've got a Ludwig acoustic kit taking up closet space. I doubt if I
    ever will take the time to mic up a kit and try to get a good drum sound
    in a home studio environment when I have a Trapkat and Superior Drummer
    set up and ready to go.

    I've got 3 mounted toms starting at 10" dia. I can't get to them easily
    so I think they are 10", 12" and 14". One floor tom. A kick. (22" I
    think) Metal snare. the toms have the "Rims" mounting system. I've
    got a great thin crash - Zildjian 14", and a dark ride - Zildjian. The
    other is an off brand crash/ride - a Paiste or Sabian - I think.

    I'm keeping the throne for the Trap Kat. I have a cheap Pearl pedal,
    DW5000 Hihat with 13" Zildjian hat cymbals. Stands for the cymbals.

    I believe the set is from the mid to late 80s. The guy who originally
    owned it was very proud of it when he bought it and wouldn't let anyone
    touch it. IIRC, it was a fairly pricey kit in it's day.

    I'm not looking to make a large buck for it and will offer it up as a
    trade possibility for instruments that I might use.

    What's a good - Get it out the door price?

    Well, a brand new kit like you are describing would cost between
    $489.00 to $679.00, and that's just the shell pack with no cymbals.

    Depending on what series the cymbals are will make a big difference.
    For instance, the 20" Zildjian "A" ride I use on my live kit is $264.95,
    but you can get a 20" Zildjian "ZBT" ride for $104.95, so there is a
    wide spread on cymbals.

    I would guess that asking between $1000.00 to $1200.00 for that kit
    with cymbals and pedals wouldn't be out of line. Taking 8 or 9 to
    regain some studio space prolly wouldn't be either. ;)

    Thanks. I'd be happy to swap it for an EPI 335 dot or an Epi with P90s.
    Or maybe another bass that might be different. Maybe a MIM Jazz or P
    Bass.

    Epiphone dot neck ES335s are only four bills brand new. I would prolly
    haul the drum kit down to Guitar Center, and get them to trade me even.
    The last couple trades I've done with them and pawn shops, I've gone in
    armed with captured price lists on my phone, so I can tell them with
    authority what my trade in is worth. I got them to trade me even on a
    midi pedal board for a Roland dual trigger pad, and they traded me even
    on a pair of Tama mini timbales for a Paiste crash cymbal. The last
    thing I traded in was a Fender acoustic from the 80s, which was a piece
    of crap, but I got the $100.00 trade in out of it I wanted, and with my
    kid kicking in another $50, we got him a new Squier P-Bass.
