How does everyone else feel about sharing your drums at gigs, I've got one coming up on Thursday evening and there are 3 other bands playing before us and they want me to take my kit and let everyone else use it albeit bringing their own breakables.
I just can't go in feeling happy about it, I do have a spare kit that I'm not so precious about but even that's not sitting that comfortably with me as it has sentimental value attached to it. The bit I know will pee me off most, it takes me minutes with the memory locks to get everything exactly where I like it but everybody else will have moved all the positions including the cymbal arms to different heights.
Granted I've used "House Kits" at gigs and have had the attitude that if someone else is happy to let everyone else use their kit then that's their choice.
What's everybody else's take on this and am I being anal about it??
