I'm a drummer, have been drumming almost 2 years now, and im pretty awesome
Started off by playing the guitar hero drums, and just loved it so much i got myself a £350 everything included, chinese made kit.. was a *******, but it did the job for learning on.. Then i bought myself a set of bottom of the range cymbals.. £300, yes bottom of the range at £300!?
Anyway, decided to sell that, got £102 :/ and i thought i would splash out on a new drum kit as i earned loads last year and i got a big holiday pay.. So i spent £1000 on a Tama Superstar Hyperdrive kit with all the stands and everything, but with no cymbals as i had my own..
So ive had it just over a year now, and my 'bottom of the range' cymbals are just about finished with.. ive basicly smashed 2 of them in half from consistant playing and i need a fresh new set.. but not just any new set :/
I want the best! why spend money buying mid-range cymbals that sound 'OK' when i can spend more and get the perfect professional cymbals that should last a lifetime!
So i got searching, and found 'the perfect set'.. Sept the price isnt perfect..
£675!!
I know it sounds like absolutley loads to spend on a drum kit, but if you enjoyed it as much as i do its so worth it!
So im saving up for those right now! got almost £150, not much but a start i guess
But even after ive bought them its still not finished! i want to buy a set of new drum heads which should cost £60, a new double bass pedal, £300!?
And the wish list is just never ending in such expensive stuff, but i love it
I hope my drum kit will make me famous one day
Any of you guys got expensive hobbies?
