So yesterday evening I make it to a service our youth group was having, only to find out right as it was starting they needed me to play for it. Another drummer and myself had been bringing our drums for whatever was needed, but I had to use an old set that was put up for the last few months. The problem: whoever set it up obviously did not know what they were doing. Everything was set up wrong. The mounting hardware for the toms was not connected to the bass drum right and they were scratching the bass drum and all messed up as well. The snare was horribly out of tune and the floor tom was absolutely awful. I ended up taking the rack toms off to save the bass drum from further scratches. Then I played the rest of the evening without using toms and a horrible snare. It was not a fun experience. I made it though, and while it wasn't my best playing, I certainly was not frustrated with my playing based on the circumstances.
