I have a friend, who seems to always find amazing deals on things at yard sales and thrift stores and such. About five years ago, he scored a vintage 18" Zildjian sizzle cymbal (8 or ten rivets in it, I believe), in amazing condition, for somewhere around $15, if I'm not mistaken. No cracks, no keyholing, nothing other than patina, which is to be expected. No logos, just the stamp. I played in a band with him, and he let our drummer use the cymbal frequently. The thing sounds just fantastic. We all fell in love with it at once. I have since tried to get him to sell me that cymbal, but he just won't let it go, and here's the thing: He doesn't even play drums! He just has this amazing cymbal that's longing to be played, and it just sits. He says he'll never get rid of it. I sent him a text earlier today and asked him again to sell it to me. I'm not confident that he will.
But, this got me thinking. I have a few things that I never use, that I will probably never get rid of, either. Does anybody have things laying around, gear related or not, that you'll just never get rid of, whether or not somebody else could put it to better use?
