Nice. Pretty sure I can do it. There are people I know with less money and/or less free income that manage to do it, so I am sure I will be alright. Thanks!Originally Posted by Pike
Oooh, good luck. I did a five-year financing plan for my Toyota Corolla and it's alllllmost paid off and I'm super excited about it because I bet it's going to last me another ten years.
I hope you brought some decent earphones/headphones to go with that! Otherwise you need to see your man Steve again stat! & get sorted out! Seriously I can sort you with some bloody good ones for about £30 - £40 no need to spend £249.99 like mine would have cost me, I can also avoid the rastafarian look of mine too so that you won't stand out like a sore thumb in your puny little zombie town!
Edit: last thing I brought that wasn't food?
That would probably be the Hunger Games Trilogy of books, they were fun... whilst they lasted. Too short by far for my tastes though I reckon that's just because my tastes have become GOT/WOT length books and therefore anything less than 900 pages just isn't going to last me long enough.

I seem to be doing more selling than buying these days. I did buy a new electronic drum kit so I can practice/give lessons out of the apartment. Of course to balance this out I'm unloading my acoustic kit and some cymbals to help pay off some debt.

Speaking of tea and your signature, I recently started drinking dandelion root tea and it is quite nice.
I got BJ some of that for his birthday a couple of years ago. It's funtimes.Speaking of tea! I plan on buying some blooming tea whenever I can order some!
Vivi, I want your set but I neither have the money nor the room for it.
I'm sorry HC, but if I was going to trade my drums for nudes (never going to happen by the way), your man tits aren't going to win out over Ms. Boobs actual tits.
Yeah, I don't have the room for it either. And once me and the wife are in a house I have plans to buy a Sonor SQ2, so yeah, might as well pay down our debt with this so we can more easily afford a house. Renting sucks when you're a drummer. The nice thing is that I don't NEED to sell any of it (and I'm not selling all of the cymbals) so I can wait for the right offer.Vivi, I want your set but I neither have the money nor the room for it.

What does a kit like that usually go for? I mean, it's solid and those things aren't usually something you can pick up for a couple of bucks and a few beers. It'd be interesting to know just what kind of financial commitment drumming is.
Off the cuff rough estimate Jiro, I'd say buying that kit, cymbals, and hardware brand new ran me about $8,000-9,000 more or less. Most of it was purchased when I was a University student working a co-op job that paid pretty well while living with my parents so I had absolutely no living expenses. That's not even counting the kit I had before this one and the electronic kit I sold to help fund the new one.
As far as upkeep, I'd usually change snare drum heads every couple of months or so and those were about $15-20. I'd change the heads on the entire kit maybe once every year or two because I was cheap. That'd run me about $150-200 depending on what heads I bought. Head prices have gone down a bit around here since then though. The dollar used to screw me a lot more.
Obviously it's quite doable to purchase a drumkit for a lot less than that. Not many people really need a 9 piece with four other snares and about 20 cymbals. I'm planning on my next kit being a downgrade in size as well actually. One of the nice things about owning a kit that big is that you really start to realize what you use the most and what you could live without. I mean, I didn't really NEED 4 hi hats and 3 ride cymbals on one kit when I think about it.
I just bought the first six Might & Magic games. So excited. Downloading them off of GOG.com right now!
I ordered a sample of one (jasmine). I still haven't tried it...Speaking of tea! I plan on buying some blooming tea whenever I can order some!
Oooooooooh I'm so jealous and I was going to buy Myst this morning when the sale was still going on but then I forgot and now the sale is over
