Grew up drumming as a child and teenager. Switched to bass guitar around 16. Played in many bands as a bassist. Deep down wanted to go back to drums but shrugged it off for years.
Now...finally dropped a grand on a new drum set. First I have ever owned. Loved the tone and the kit but kept second guessing the tuning. Kept adjusting and adjusting. One day I'm satisfied, next day I'm adjusting again because I saw a video on YouTube. Wash, rinse, repeat. Adjust some more.
Now my brand new drum set has three stripped lug nuts and I'm convinced I've ruined two of my drum heads because now they have dead spots that I cant seem to tune away. On top of all this, my family is wondering where the hell I went all day and night tinkering with this sh$% instead of with them. So now I feel guilty, have a pissed off wife, stripped drums. After all that money. I dont even want to look at the drums. But I was so excited three weeks ago.
WTF. You guys enjoy your life. I'm get drunk and watch Godfather
