and pictures! Must have pictures...

[That Guy]

I swear it like a kid going to a candy store. We are really interested in and happy for what the other guy gets, its so funny.

[frank0072]

AS IF you are going to return with just the hardcase. Did your wife believe that joke or is she coming with you to keep an eye on you... Oh wait, it was your wife that buys you all the stuff. Maybe she sees something that she thinks you'll like and buy it for you.
Man... the life you have..

[stasz]

I say we get a pool going... 20 bucks says he comes home with a cymbal.

At least some sticks.

[stasz]

At least some sticks.

OK, I bet you some sticks that drumsword comes home with a cymbal. : ) You're on

[drumbum11]

ill give all my a customs if he doesn't come back with a cymbal

[drumforone]

il have them if you lose :D

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

My money is on either another snare or a whole new kit.

[Big_Philly]

I'm too sane to bet any money or gear, but I also don't believe that he's gonna come home with nothing but a hardcase. Maybe another Zildjian K.

[GRUNTERSDAD]

I'm thinking drum set or two.

[That Guy]

OK, I bet you some sticks that drumsword comes home with a cymbal. : ) You're on

I meant that he would at least come home with some sticks... lol. :-D

All the stores less then 3 hours from me are like a kid going to an empty candy store. They never have anything I want. Its ridiculous. But today, I went over to a local store and they had the discontinued Sabian Signature Hot Ride I have been looking for. Can't get it now [I just got some new 13" groove hats], but hoping to sell some stuff and go back and get it.

[stasz]

Yeah, I know. And I was making a joke.. and I guess both of us are having a hard time sending the correct message over the internet. I think we can at least agree that drumsword is going to buy something in addition to the cymbal case lol

[Drumsword]

OK, ok........... Here's the scoop.......... I got the 22" hardcase........ 2 pair of Vic Firth 5A's. A Gibralter Rock Boom Cymbal stand and a Tama Boom cymbal stand. And there is a 17" Zildjian K custom with my name on it coming soon.

[That Guy]

I said he would get sticks!! I win!!! :-)

[Big_Philly]

And I guessed the new K :D

[Ironcobra]

I'm guessing he'll get a hardcase, 2 pairs of sticks and 2 cymbal stands.

[diosdude]

i was going to get a cymbal case too at the music store but then some guy sold me some magic beans out of the back of his dark van. He said they were just as good as the magic beans from like sam ash or guitar center. Godddd!!!! i'm soooo stupid!!!!!!!!

[Drumsword]

Here is a pic of the 17" K crash. and I won't be buying anything for awhile. So I'm done with buying drums for awhile.

GREAT!!!, Well I WOULD have made 2 weeks..... Now I need an 11" Splash.. ;)

[KarlCrafton]

I'm in the same boat as Drumsword! I don't need anything else...

I'm set with drums or different sizes and colors...don't need sticks, heads, cymbals.....I don't need anymore snares, mic's, stands, cowbells, gadgets...nothin'!

This SUCKS!
I don't even have any mad scientist hardware projects in the works....dang!

I have money in my "drum fund", but I don't want to spend it on just 'anything'.

Maybe an H2 zoom recorder....

I was thinking about a 6" brass Ahead snare, or a 6.5 Ludwig Acro ('cause it's cool)...but I have 8 snares already.....

Maybe I'll buy that Ludwig Centennial kit for my son and get the add on 20x24 for myself and use it as an option to gig with--I don't have a Silver Sparkle kit.....

I Love your red sparkle kit man, someday I may invest in one of those. But not for 2 weeks at least, I've got $20 riding on it..LOL

[drumbum11]

how do you take all those cymbals to gigs? and how many stands do you ahve to set all of them up?

[Drumsword]

how do you take all those cymbals to gigs? and how many stands do you ahve to set all of them up?

It generally depends on what the gig is. I have about 17 stands (Including Hi hats). If I'm playing with the classic rock band, I use 3 crashes, a china (or 2), hats, ride and a splash or bell.

In the studio is where I generally use my K's, for recording. or If I'm playing a larger gig. I really don't wanna bring them into bars, ( I hate playing bars too but it pays pretty good)

Playing my OWN Music, I tend to set up a much larger array, 3-4 crashes, both splashes, ride, Hammerax cymbals, chinas and bells. Playing my own stuff I take a solo, plus have a couple drum compositions that use an array of equipment. Plus my own music varies from Heavy rock to instrumental R&B.

[Drumsword]

Shoot, this doesn't count against the bet because I bought it last week but it arrived today. A multi stand for my jam blocks, cowbells and tambourine. holds 6 indivudual pieces. I have 2 Jam blocks, 2 cowbells and a tambourine on it.

That doesn't count towards the bet right?

[That Guy]

I want my 20 dollars and a pair of stick stasz.

You didn't say anything about a multistand, and can you prove you ordered it last week?? :)
