I fancy buying one off ebay and would have to go pick it up, I think everything would probably fit but I'm not sure. Some sellers state that a small van or estate would be needed?

If anyone can do it I can, bearing in mind that I've fitted a spare Coupe door and a full set of leather seats in all at the same time before. laugh

I've fitted a standard 5-piece in mine, but make sure it is stripped right down.
You can do a great drum roll if you break hard.

You should go for an electronic kit, easy to transport and you will still get on with your neighbours.

Good luck

Hmmmm - really depends on the size of the kit. The drummer in my band wouldn't even come close to getting his kick in a coupe, let alone his kit!

To be honest, unless you're talking about a dinky Jazz kit nI don't think you've got much hope!

With ease I can fit a five piece with 22" Bass and 8 Cymbals/stands in there. Just got to utilise all available space.

I used to transport my kit on a 50 mile round trip for band practice every week for a year - I got good at finding the best way to transport.

Bass drum and floor tom on back seat (Bass drum takes some twisting and turning to get past the front seat). Two standing toms and snare stacked in boot. Cymbals and stands fitted around everything - or put in passenger foot well.

Another tip is to take a bass drum skin off and stack stuff inside it (Just prop up the other skin so it doesn't sag and sound like crap after having things resting on it)

Jobs a carrot smile

How far away is it?
If it doesn't fit in all at once you could make a second trip?

Sorry for the semi-sane advice when there's gimp photos to be admired.

I could make two trips, but that would half the distance I would be able to travel to collect them...

As long as the bass drum would fit on the front seat and the biggest tom would fit behind the driver seat everything else should go in fine.

Dont really have neighbours as such, where I'll be keeping them there's nothing for about a mile around except a runway. wink
