Today I got my first drum set - for $30! It came with a snare, three toms, the bass, a hi-hat stand (which needs a little TLC) and it's in excellent condition! (And it's a Royce, by the way.)
Got to play with it a bit and it sounds excellent! Maybe now I can save up and get a Blue Bell Ride or Stewart Snare.
It's been my dream to drum for a while now, wish me luck as I start experimenting!
