    Of course the others are no slouches either:

    I'd actually love to have a Sonor kit someday. Ever since I heard a set of Maple S-Class drums maybe 10-12 years ago I've been pretty in love with Sonor. Something about that kit just made me stop and think that that was how a Maple kit should sound. Getting the SQ2 snare was nice, but someday if I can save the money I'll either get a full SQ2 kit, or try and track down some old Bubinga finish Signatures from the 80's. Those things are badass. Even better if I could get one of the HLD-590 bronze snares in 14'x8". The ones with the copper plated hardware.

    Excuse me for a minute while I go drool and PM you the specs for everything else I own.

    D: That snare is so pretty! I only have the one African mahogany pearl masters snare, but I once got to play a custom made Brady snare that was a cross hatching of Jarrah and Karri wood. Not only was it the nicest sounding snare I've ever heard, but it looked to good to even hit. Also want to add a Keplinger Ayotte wood hoop snare at some point, as they're responsible for some of the best recorded snare sounds I've ever heard.

    I've never had the chance to try a Brady in person unfortunately, though I could (and likely have) spend all day staring at pictures of them on the internet. Those woods they use are absolutely gorgeous. But a Mahogany Pearl is certainly a nice thing to have between your legs too. And I would love one of those Keplinger Ayotte's for that matter. Never heard one of them in person either, but the reputation certainly speaks for itself, and I have a serious lack of metal snares at the moment. Speaking of, if I can save the money sometime in the next few years, I'd love to get my hands on a Pearl Ultracast or possibly even a Dunnett. Ron makes some incredible stuff.

    And with that I think we've officially hijacked this thread.

    I collect older style weaponry apparently. I didn't think about it until I saw this thread.

    I have a long bow, a jahn bong, a set of dan bongs, a set of juhl bongs, a set of throwing knives, and a set of throwing axes. I'm way out of practice with them all though.

    I also inadvertently wound up with a collection of video game systems. I have an NES, and SNES, a Gamecube, a few Gameboy Advances, a Sega Genesis 32x/Sega CD, a Dreamcast, a PS1, a PS2, a PS3, and two modded XBoxes. I barely touch any of them.

    Wow, I didn't realize I've been collecting consoles. I just don't like throwing them away if they still work, but a few of these I don't use so it's a pointless waste of space.

    I use to have two SNESes, a NES, Nintendo 64, a Sega Saturn, a PS1, PS2, PSP (technically my sister's but I play it more than she does) three XBOX 360s, an Xbox, a Wii, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy DS. Now I just have half as much, which is still a lot considering I still have three Xbox 360s—three Xboxes too many.

    Oh trout. I didn't even think about consoles. It's not something I was actively collecting so it didn't occur to me. How the hell did I end up with all this?!

    I'm so jealous of all you guys who have all those consoles. I was in a big family so the consoles were always the "family" consoles so now my little sisters have got them and ugh I miss those consoles.

    I like how all of us nerds forget about consoles and trout.

    I'll have to look for my stuff, but I still have a NES, SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Dreamcast, PSX, PS2, Xbox, 360. My dad has a PS3 and my sister has a Wii though. Video games all up in this bitch.

    I'm amazed at how my console collection is very similar to everyone else's list on here. I'd list all my games I've got for them as well but that will probably take me all day...

    - NES
    - 2 x SNES
    - Gameboy Colour
    - Gameboy Advance SP
    - Nintendo 64
    - PS1
    - PS2 (broken)
    - PS3
    - DS
    - Wii
    - Portable NES handheld

    My PS3 and my Wii definitely get the most playtime but I always have a SNES day every now and then as it's still my favourite console.

    I just figured games went without saying on a video game related forum. My list of consoles:
    -NES
    -SNES
    -N64
    -Gamecube
    -Game Boy
    -GB Color
    -GBA SP
    -DS
    -Wii (strangely enough. My sister gave me hers since her boyfriend also had one)
    -PS2
    -PS3
    -PSP
    -Dreamcast

    And my PC of course. I also used to have a Genesis and PSX, but I gave the former to my sister because she actually had more games for it than I did, and emulation is easy. The PSX I gave to a friend because who needs it with both a PS2 and a PS3 now.
