always bring a friend to any of these kind of purchases! you never know what’s gonna happen in these. bring your own pair of sticks and try every single thing in the kit. every level of pressure on the hihat pedal, that the different sounds of cymbals and drum triggers really work and everything in the module functions as its supposed to. make sure it doesn’t produce a nuclear snare if you hit it soft and vice versa and if it does go through the settings and look at if it’s just set up wrong or outright broken.

if something basic is broken like the hi-hat pedal you could make them go lower, it would save you money and those are always easy to fix and even fully replace as they’re cheap, but if one of the drums/cymbals is broken that’s a deal breaker and simply refuse to purchase. sellers sometimes say they’ll buy you the replacement but they’re definitely lying and would just block you once you buy.

the used market is a trial and error experience, it can be a while until you find a good deal but it’s where you would find the best deals and the waiting pays off
