The closest I've come is having a spork labeled "destroyer of humans" sticking out of the bass vent.

Mine's Silverbull....

Because when my kit is 8 pieces configured, it make me think of a charging bull...

I call my kit many different names. Profanity is often used in the house because if something breaks or something, I often yell "YOU (female dog)"

I'm watching a video of the Safety Dance from Men without Hats!!

so do you all mention your kit's name often? such as, "i'm going to go practice on 'kermit' for a while"

anyway, i don't have a name for mine.

I actually don't have names for my current kits. When I used to have my Tama Starclassics...the bass player at that time named them "The Green Machine".

Isn't naming your classified as 'a bit wierd'?
Although, I could see mine being called "Betty"...

I don't have any names for my drums, but reading this thread has inspired me to think of some possibilities!

ya know...i've never thought about naming my kit before. I just got a new kit yesterday (pictures will be up soon) and I can see naming it very soon. I have just been calling it "my new baby"...but the wife is getting a little upset, especially because we have one on the way :)

I call mine a p.o.s., because it's a p.o.s.

I love my drums, but the quality is not great. I look at them every day and think about how much I love them, but she could look so much better. Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. She was cute, but some days it wasn't there.

That's mean. I'm actually really good friends with her.
