I love gear. I have a few vintage weapons and (to me) a lot of cymbals and drums.
But, on the other hand, I am a very minimalist kind of person and I just can't stand clutter or things sitting around collecting dust.
Between my dads 76' Ludwig, my 1970 Slingy, a yamaha stage custom, and an electronic drums, and enough cymbals to complete all 3 sets, I don't see the reason to keep most of it.
Sure, I won't ever sell my dads kit, in fact, I plan to re-wrap it to its original white marine pearl and keep it as a show piece and stay in the family.
The slingerland I got off Craigslist for a wicked steal, but the sizes I don't really enjoy playing.
The yamaha, I've giged this kit for about a decade and have made enough off it to pay it in full tenfold. The sizes and sound are great. I gifted this kit to my son, which I hope he will start playing when I finish my kit.
My wife suggests I sell the slingy for something I really want (Ludwig CM in sky blue pearl), but I don't want to give up the vintage gold.
Don't even get me started on the cymbals.
