Hey Crew,
Man, I fell into a great deal today-- a 5-piece drumset for $80! They wanted $100, but I offered my 2 HP 5 gallon air compressor as a barter, (as it's a crappy CB set). Done deal.
I figure the (double braced) cymbal stand, extra floor tom, and extra snare were worth the $80 alone. The new kit is the exact same color as my old one--black. Blends in like a mofo.
Well, I combined the 2 kits tonight, and went friggin' GONZO on it! man, a 10 piece set with wrap-around toms and a second bass drum is AWESOME! I went so nuts that my arms and wrists are kinda sore from all the action.
I probably will strip the hardware and keep certain parts of the drum kit, as it's just too big to gig with, (and WAY too big for my already over-stuffed garage) but in the meantime----WHATTA RUSH. It's so cool to be completely surrounded by drums. I'll take a pic or 2 and post them when I get a chance.
I figure if I can't sell the unwanted drums, I'll just donate them to the local High School.
Cool, huh?
Cheers,
C. P.
