I spend a good amount of time going inside and out
of the pads I sell, to clean and check internals etc

rather than omit the details.

A note on trigger cones*

Vdrum pads can show obvious signs of use like worn or grubby mesh heads and marked shells but look inside!

All pd series mesh pads use a trigger cone (*pdx6 and pdx8 use a smaller tower variation but the principle is the same).

This cone sits atop the piezo pickup and contacts the mesh head above to transfer your strikes to the pickup and register clearly in the module. If it degrades and shrinks then you will experience sporadic triggering, need to hit harder or it may not work at all/just make the rim sound.

This cone is made of foam rubber and will decay over time depending on various factors. Age, usage, humidity, temperature fluctuations etc can all influence how fast the cone goes bad. I have seen ten year old cones that are in perfect shape and four year old ones that are rotten - leaving your kit in a garage that has extreme temperatures from cold to hot is not advised for this alone, never mind the corrosion and rust you will be inviting....you get the idea.

Roland stock these cones as a service part and I check every pad that comes my way for this issue. I replace any that are bad or close to failing so that you receive a drum that works perfectly.

MY TERMS

I am very helpful! See my feedback.
Please consider my position....as it is
for other sellers....cyber crime is rife and
I have many experiences of thieves trying to con items
from myself and other ebayers so don't be offended but
I need to protect myself from fraud and time wasting.

I reserve the right to cancel if you do not adhere
to the following:

ALL SALES ARE AT MY DISCRETION
For high price goods,
I will process them only for buyers with more than 5 feedback 
received in the last 6 months -  ***if you have
no transactions for 12 months or more, this makes
you a Zero % buyer - you WILL be cancelled
without discussion.

YOU MUST COMMUNICATE
I will not deal with silent buyers or those
who cannot use more than 2 words in a sentence:
this is a crucial element in dealing with others!
Non-response or evasive one-word answers to messages
will result in cancellation.

MAINLAND ADDRESS - no PO boxes, no forwarding
agents, it must be going to YOUR own address, place
of work or a collection shop within the UK.
NI, highlands & Islands MUST contact before sale
to discuss shipping costs.

UK ONLY, means no international option. If I do allow
international sales then it is via ebay Global Shipping
Program only. Trying to avoid GSP by using a forwarding
company will result in cancellation, no exceptions.

High price items are security marked and will be sent
very well packed in 100% good order with a security tag.
All serial numbers are recorded.

I am very happy to discuss in advance if you have
a serious interest in something. I have many repeat clients
who get where I'm coming from and some have had even worse
incidents with ebay/online sales.

I clean and test all
items and have no time to waste on dreamers who
don't pay or scammers trying to get a freebie!
Your understanding is appreciated.
