Got a kit for free. uh where do i even start lol Question/Help

so i got this drumkit for free from my old school and theres a lot of work to do... i checked the brass and didnt see any cracks what i did see though is: the snare springs and back membrane is broken, i think the toms membrane is broken too but the tape is covering it so im not sure, the floor toms membrane is beat to hell, the front of the bass has a huge cut out and its ripped, not to mention ill probably have to buy a new stand for the snare and a chair (it didnt have one). i really enjoy working on my guitars and basses so im ready to commit a lot of time towards fixing it (or getting it playable atleast), ive been also thinking of re finishing the paint cause might aswell yk. if you guys have any tips or questions feel free to ask

Need help getting into fixing guitars and basses for others

Hi, I've been thinking about trying to earn some spare change working on guitars and basses. The main issue is that I'm a teen (soon to be 16), and I'm not sure how to get the word out that I can fix and work on instruments.

One nice thing, though, is that there aren't any other people doing this near my city (as far as I know).

I've worked on my own instruments many times before. Some of the things I've done include pickup swaps, setups, moving the bridge on one of my basses to fix the intonation, changing tuners, rewiring electronics, fabricating a nut out of wood (which is still working after half a year), and successfully performing a fret level.

A lot of people I know often ask me for tips about fixing their instruments, and they also say that the setups on my guitars feel good.

I have some basic tools (a fret rocker, crowning file, notched straightedge, sanding beam, and nut files), but I'd like to buy better tools if this works out.

I should probably mention that I live in Poland, but yeah, I think that's all the information that could be useful. I've seen people post listings on websites like OLX, but I have doubts about how effective that is.

I really love fixing instruments, maybe even more than playing them.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
