It is described as having some “damage” with the “paintwork peeling.”
But James said this all adds to the “character” of the drums, as reported on What’s The Jam.

The set includes a kick drum, two toms, a floor tom, snare, hi-hat, Sabian AAX 20″ Stage Ride cymbal, Sabian Pro 16″ Crash and stool.
James, of Colchester, Essex, who has been to 10 gigs, said: “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a part of Ed Sheeran’s history.
“Arguably one of the biggest artists of all time and this is an extremely one off item.
“This has been a difficult one to let go, but for financial reasons (and space) I think it is time to sell.”
He added: “The drum kit, which was spray-painted by a teenage Ed himself, was signed by the international superstar during his visit to the EACH charity’s Treehouse hospice in Ipswich.
“The kit was originally given to the singer by his mum and he played the instrument through his formative teenage years developing his life-long love of music.
“All the drums have been well used showcasing Ed’s passion for music. The drum kit is painted bright orange with a green snare with a paw print pattern.
“There is damage to drums, paintwork peeling, but this all adds to the character of the item.”
The buy it now price is set at £5,086.68
