If you’ve spent any time browsing used drum gear on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, you most likely have seen some pretty jank kit setups on listings. Here’s some of the best ones I’ve found.

I have no idea what’s going on with these toms 👽

It’s common to see non-drummers selling drum sets, and they tend to mount the tom arms backwards.

Again, chill on the dampening, please…

Another non-drummer set this one up

I’m not even going to question how one would attempt to play this “drumb set”

I don’t even know what’s happening in this picture (I believe that’s more than five pieces, my guy)

Stretch armstrong is on the gig

Just add a new top, bro

Here’s how to use a snare stand properly
