I have an acrolite lined up that I could buy this weekend for $100. This will actually (even though I've been playing all my life) be my first time buying a used snare from a private party, not a store.

I have some general ideas of what to look for: put the drum on a flat surface and see if it wobbles, check the throwoff functionality, wires, etc. I don't care about pitting on the chrome and all that. I've seen a pic and it looks decent, but this will be a player's drum.

Anything else I might want check out?
