Frequently Asked Questions
Used Hardware FAQs
How does DCP source used hardware?
Most of our used hardware come from trade-ins, consignment from local and touring drummers, and estate purchases. Every piece is inspected, photographed in detail, and accurately described before it goes up for sale.
Are used hardware at DCP inspected before listing?
Yes — every used hardware piece is inspected by our team before listing. We test functionality, note cosmetic wear, and only list items we'd be happy to sell to a friend.
What's the price advantage of buying used hardware?
Used hardware typically run 20 to 50 percent below new prices, depending on condition, age, rarity, and demand. Vintage and limited-run pieces sometimes hold or appreciate in value over time.
Do used hardware come with a warranty?
Used purchases include a DCP satisfaction guarantee — contact us within our standard return window if anything isn't as described. Manufacturer warranties typically don't transfer with used purchases, but we stand behind every item we sell.
Can I trade in my own hardware piece toward a used purchase?
Yes — DCP buys and accepts trades on quality used drum gear. Contact our team with photos and details of what you'd like to trade and we'll get back to you with an offer.
How quickly does DCP's used inventory turn over?
Used inventory at Drum Center of Portsmouth turns frequently. If you see something you want, don't wait — these pieces often sell within days. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when new used gear is listed.
