Adventures in My Mind

I've added some new music links to the left nav. I'll cop to the serious tilt toward drums and drum related things, but it can't be helped. I've been a drummer for 23 years. I've played in everything from garage band to semi-pro band to bagpipe band. If there's a way to fit a drum into a song, I'll play it. Humanity's first musical instrument has completely captured my soul.
I've recently had my musical flames reignited because I feel that I should get a new kit. Mind you, this is not cheap proposition. Mix that with mortgages, car payments, credit debt, new babies, student loans, and a host of other debts, and you get a nice little anxiety cocktail. I'm scheming harder than Ralphie going after his Red Rider BB Gun. While I don't have to worry about shooting my eye out, I do have to worry about shooting the monthly budget. I can pretty much trash it by purchasing a new kit.
I'm looking at getting a Pacific LX Series 6 piece kit. I've never heard them, but all the reviews I've read say that they are a nice first step into the maple-shelled drum arena. (For those who don't know, maple drums tend to have the best sound and performance and highest price tag) They're manufactured by Drum Workshop so the quality is definitely there.
So if I get rid of cable, the phone and drive with no car insurance, I'll be able to indulge the musician in me. Better yet, maybe I'll get a nice fat raise that'll cover the expense. Yeah, well ... I guess I'd better get used to staring at a blank TV screen.
