What's your thinking on letting others borrow your equipment?
For instance, a friend I met through a mutial friend borrowed a snare drum from me last week for a recording session he's doing. He's a fine guitar player and singer trying to kick start his music again.
He needed just the snare for some brush work he is doing on several of his songs, so I let him borrow a '76 Ludwig Acrolite with new, coated heads.
Not that I don't trust him, I do, but accidents happen and stuff gets stolen, so the Acrolite was the easiest to replace, plus it had pretty new heads and I wanted to lend a hand since he's a buddy.
Any horror stories out there about lending out equipment? Last year I backlined a kit for a friend who was doing a charity event for Hurricane Sandy victims and it went fine. People respected the kit.
Just curious.
