Jay brought up a good point earlier about the people like me who own multiple kits and scores of snares and cymbals.
When you think about it, it is kind of stupid to own 7 drum kits.
It is just as stupid to bring twice the gear that you need to a gig.
So I admit it, I am an idiot! A happy idiot, but an idiot just the same
I do love all of my gear though.
Every now and then I try to sell something. I put a real nice ad on craigs. I even spell cymbal correctly. I do make sure that one picture is upside down just for good luck.
After the first person contacts me with an extremely low ridiculous offer I take the ad down and I keep the item/s that I was going to sell. Hence, I have a lot of gear.
I would rather keep it and hardly ever use it than deal with scumbags.
