We Travelled 6 Hours for This Drum Kit… Here’s What We Found

We drove 6 hours for this vintage drum kit… and we didn’t even know if it was going to be worth it. In this video, I head out with Ellis from Conundrum_Shop to pick up a 1960s Trixon drum kit we found on eBay. Listed at £1,000 but negotiated down to £800, we had no real idea what condition it would be in — or whether the vintage cymbals included would make the trip worthwhile. From first impressions and unexpected finds to setting it up and hearing how it actually sounds, this is a real-world look at buying vintage drum kits, taking risks on long-distance deals, and whether these lesser-known brands like Trixon still hold up today. We also dive into the history of Trixon drums — from their unusual shell designs to their brief moment in the spotlight — and give an honest verdict on whether this kit lives up to expectations. If you’re into vintage drum kits, buying used drum gear, drum kit road trips, and real-world drum stories, this one’s for you. 👉 Subscribe for more drum kit finds, reviews, and road trip pickups 👉 Comment below: would you drive 6 hours for a drum kit?
