During the past year I began to purchase vintage drum kits. I carefully searched and I found specific kits that I decided that I wanted and I bought them. Whatever it took, I paid what I had to and I bought them. When I first bought each kit, (there are three) I had a notion in my head that I really wanted to keep them as they were back when.
That turned out not to be the case!
Upon receiving each kit and playing them, I found myself making modifications. Many modifications!
It seems that I saw many things that I liked in the vintage drums but I also soon discovered many things that I simply could not help but upgrade.
Every upgrade that I did was carefully planned and executed and I am totally pleased with the outcome. I spared no expense. I bought what I needed to complete these three kits. Satisfaction and personal reward abounded as I made these vintage beauties my own. I feel that I have introduced the best of the old with the best of the new. I kept what I liked and I discarded what I didn't like. I based my decisions on my over 40 years of drumming experience I am a happy fella because of it.
There is a small part of me that feels guilty because of this. That part is overruled by the part of me that is overjoyed, but it exist just the same.
Isn't life strange sometimes.
