We had a regional band come to lead worship at my church this morning, and the worship leader asked if it would be alright for the band to use my drumset- GMS CL series. I say no problem- I always like to hear my kit from the room.
When I show up this morning, though, the drummer is using his Mapex M. I figure he must have just decided to use his own kit after all and I go back to check on my kit back in the equipment closet. It's set up as a 5 piece (I normally play it as a 4 piece) and the toms are all set up at his angles. Evidently, he tried to use my kit and couldn't get it to play comfortably (mine is run with 2 toms to the left)... or maybe he just decided his was better.
I know I shouldn't take it as an insult, but to have someone ask to use my kit and then decide that they needed to bring theirs instead? It's a little frustrating.
More frustrating is that I had to listen to his badly tuned Mapex.
