stormdogMy drums. Let me show you them.
Yeah, they're pretty cheap. The 12" and 13" toms only have four lugs, and the 16" floor tom has 5. (When I asked about hardware for them at Music Center today, the drum guy asked whether they were 6 lug or 8 lug; no, when I checked at home I found that I'm not even that cool apparently.) But you know what? I set them up in the basement with the TV that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mocha_mephooki gave me a while ago as a makeshift snare stand. To make a throne, I removed the back and broken arms from the office chair that was waiting on the porch to be junked. I slotted the well-used bass pedal I picked up today for twenty bucks (the only major expenditure needed to make the set usable) onto the kick drum. And I played.
Oh yeah. This is totally worth seventy bucks.
I can't wait 'till the basement is clean enough to set up a corner with my drums, a stereo, a TV, and a computer so I can play along with whatever I'd like whenever I want to, not to mention using the space down there for Dance Dance and other video games.
One minor caveat: I think I need ear-plugs next time I play....
I was going to do some cleaning and writing ad copy today, but the time that I didn't use trying to get a DVD copied forforeignlegion (sorry that didn't work out, and it was really good to see you again!) went mostly into drumming. That's ok. I haven't had much time for myself this week, and it was good to make some. I do, however, need to clean up this weekend. Srsly.
