Hello, and welcome!Shipping calculator appears high to me; you will be REFUNDED any overage on actual shipping. HOWEVER, this IS a heavy-duty, mil. spec. acrylic bass drum (44 pounds packed).PLEASE NOTE: Local Pickup is preferred on this heavy drum; I am also happy to ship, but it's heavy and will be expensive, given the economy and the environment, as stated in one of the answer to a question below, LOCAL PICKUP not only doesn't pay shipping (obviously) but gets FIVE PERCENT OFF either up-front if PayPal lets me, or as a prompt refund. Cash is also fine instead for local pickup.This drum works perfectly and like a Zickos should, it SOUNDS GREAT, this is a GREAT-SOUNDING bass drum. Heads fit WONDERFULLY and it tunes up without effort.But, as you can see, cosmetically is it a player. I did not try and clean the drum as I didn't have time. I'm confident some effort at cleaning and polishing (there are web sites that tell the RIGHT way to do this for the acrylic, or you may know already if you're looking at this (Novus cleaner, etc.), with some effort, I reasonably believe that the drum would look SIGNIFICANTLY better. There are a few scratches that might be difficult and/or time-consuming to remove, but most of the dirt and scratches on the shell would probably come off with some reasonable effort (again I haven't even tried, myself, due to lack of time, and other drums).SPURS ARE INCLUDED. I ran out of photos but can take and e-mail a photo of the spurs if you would like. They are perfectly functional, BUT are have heavy patina, sort-of a grey overall cast, with mild to moderate rust patches (not totally severe rust but definitely there). One spur is a bit more curved than the other, not sure why, but they both work fine. There is one small black marker line on one of the spurs that I used to help with quick set-up, this would probably come right off with rubbing alcohol or just simply rubbing it enough.Tom arms not included with this drum. I THINK some certain Pearl or other tom arms, might fit this drum, but I'm not 100% sure. If that was an issue, I could get the diameter of tom arms that fit and post it here, let me know. You can also probably find used Zickos tom arms, I've seen them from time-to-time.I can't think of anything else, let me know of any questions. As far as I know, this drum is 100% original and functional, it was just not stored in cases or whatever, sometime in its life, as you can see.this auction is open internationally but I imagine it would be extremely expensive to ship. ANY SHIPPING CALCULATOR PRICE on International MAY NOT BE ACCURATE and you Must Pay Cost plus insurance and the reasonable handling fee for the International shipment, many thanks for your understanding.This drum will be shipped fully insured, for the complete winning value of the auction. It will be packed very very well, and wrapped in plastic inside the box, to withstand any possible rain event on delivery (to be discouraged, of course).You must have at least 3 positive feedback ratings to bid on this auction. If not, e-mail me and I'll consider, otherwise your bid will be cancelled. I would like this to be a fun, simple transaction for both parties. I would like you to know what you are getting so that we don't have to waste time with returning the item, as time is very precious to me, although if there is some kind of major problem, I will work with you.This item is offered as-is. This is a contract between two nice grown-ups. If you do not agree with the above terms, please do not bid. Looking forward to a positive selling experience that I hope will leave the buyer with a fine drum that they will enjoy!!
