So I usually only play a bass, snare, floor tom configuration (mostly because I do a lot of gigging on small stages with a big band and one car... but also because my tom-tom head split and I didn't have time to replace it so I got used to playing without it).
When I saw the Visions, my original plan was get a new floor tom and bass drum individually, but then I got a deal and bought a shell pack for less than it would be to buy just the two individually. I was thinking of selling the two (at least one) toms I don't use on ebay because I need the cash, but then I was wondering... most people are buying the shell packs, and I probably won't get a good deal selling the individual drums because anybody who would buy them probably has them. Also, I'm guessing not many people are scouring ebay for Visions since they're pretty new.
On the plus side, it was the smaller sized shell-pack (the one with the 18x20 bass drum), so the toms are 8x10 and 9x12, which are different than the standard shell pack.
What are other people's thoughts? Is it worth it to try to sell them on ebay now? Should I keep them/play with them and sell them later?
P.S. I'm picking up my visions shell pack on Friday. Clear birch. Pictures are sure to come. I'm pretty much peeing in my pants (been playing a Tama Swingstar for far too long).
