Hi guys,
Be careful with your drum stuff. It's a target. I had a early morning rehearsal and knew it might wake up my significant to pack up in the morning while they slept.
I packed the car last night. Hid things under a blanket and I live in a nice area so I figured I should be okay.
At 5am someone (with their kid assisting) broke into my car and took some truly irreplaceable pieces of my music making. The amazing black beauty that Larry gifted me out of the sheer kindness of his heart and I played for literally every chance, gig, rehearsal I had... Is gone... Almost certainly forever.
My carefully curated cymbals collected over my whole drumming career, unique 60's and 70's zildjians... gone.
The 5000 pedal I had setup "just so"... my super comfy throne...
I don't know if I feel more stupid or sad. It's equal right now and I'm really beating myself up.
I hope someone sees this and makes the decision to not be lazy or save time, or try not to wake someone at the cost of their precious tools. I also lost a laptop, and could not care less in comparison to the music loss.
