Hi Drummerworld, long time no speak.
I suspect most of us have had to learn the hard way about using other people's kits. In the UK at least, it's fairly common practice to share a kit at a gig and for drummers to just bring their breakables.
My personal worst was probably when I turned up to a gig and the drummer whose kit we were sharing had forgotten his throne... Doh! We ended up using a chair from the pub... couple that with the bass drum (and attached tom) sliding forward horrendously due to a cheap kit, no mat and wood flooring, and it was a pretty interesting gig.
I'm sure Drummerworld has some worse stories that though?
