Your "axe" - what is its name and how did it come about

[behindthenotes]

Hi Guys

We have just posted a new discussion topic on our forum and would like to hear your story:

Your "axe" - what is its name and how did that name come about. Appreciate this is more a guitar or bass player type topic but we have met at least 3 drummers that have a name for their kit.

You can tell us your story on our forum.

I never thought of naming my kit until now. It'll be Burt.

Mine kits name is lucy it's feminine so i can say well i'm gonna go bang on lucy for about 45 min to people i don't know. And they get all freaked out.

I named my DW kit "Pearl", because she's got a White Marine Pearl finish. She's a beauty! I never call her by name in public, though, lest other drummers become confused...

I haven't yet named my '70 Ludwig kit. Any suggestions? Silver sparkle 20x14, 14x14, 12x8.
