And these are my drums! Yeah, I bought them two weeks ago. I actually was pretty good back in the day, but apartment living did not permit me to continue with them. There was, however, a time a few years back when I had some very loud kids and their ineffectual parents living up above me and nearly every day I vowed to borrow a drum kit so I could return their excessive noise in kind. That didn't happen, but they moved to another unit, so that was the end of my drum ambitions for the time - even if I wanted a set for the wrong reasons. Then a few months ago, a very good drummer let me know that this set was up for sale. It took me a while to clear space, but now it's mine. Yes, it's an electronic kit. You have to wear headphones, otherwise it just sounds like tapping. That's the best thing about it; I can play anytime and nobody hears. Now, there are a lot of things that it can't do and the feel isn't exactly the same as a real set, but it does let you build some real drum chops. It's also really good exercise. And it promises to keep me warm this winter. Oh, and I plan to play drums on my next album. That's my hope. Wish me luck.
