I may have posted this question before, and if I have, forgive me and feel free to ignore.
Does anyone have any gear that like the idea of having it, but when you get right down to it, you have too many reservations or you simply don't have a use for it? I know I have a few.
1. I love the idea of having a Ludwig Vistalite kit. My reservations are volume (they are LOUD drums, and I play a lot of quiet-ish environments) and I question the durability of gigging with a Vista kit. I love the look of them, but I just don't know if they are practical for me right now.
2. I would also like to have different metal snares. I'd love to have a Supraphonic, one of those Ludwig Heirloom in steel, and maybe a Black Beauty and a Copper-phonic. I'm just afraid at how loud they would be. My little 13" Pork Pie Keller-shelled maple snare is way too lively for me to use, so I just stick with my 14 x 5.5 Pearl Masters. It's a terrific snare drum, and does what I need it to do. It would be nice to have some of these metal-based snares, but I just don't think they would work well in some of the venues I'm playing right now.
How about you? What's something you like the idea of having, but you know that you probably won't use it much or gig with it?
