If your life or existence is defined by inanimate objects, I feel sorry for you. Same applies if all you do with said objects is baby them and worry about ROI rather than use them like the tools they are.
I agree with this, and you’re right on the money.
No I’m not the person text is reference just this is a low attempt at shaming/bullying if I’ve ever seen.
Even goes to say ‘It’d be funny if this guy was a member here...’
Is this the double standard that appears out of all this muck?
Stand on your own two feet.
May get a lot of flack, but publishing a smear and saying ‘(You) dislike’ is a disgraceful, enticing act, strong word to mention; and, a two way street:
I don’t think it’s about those of us who are stepping out against procedures, as much as it’s the disregarding front Mr. Eder chalks up his mods to functionality for the ‘craftsman.’ That’s fine and dandy, and his right just do your mods and seek opinion - not go this route.
However if you want to buy a collectible or vintage kit as a primary ‘gigging tool’ that’s the head scratcher for me.
This isn’t the case here obviously.
Respectfully, to those that are saying it’s mass produced or it’s just a drum, you may be the niche this type of thing appeals to. (On that note, Yes I agree it’s
just a Performance series after all.)
Believe it or not some drum musicians/enthusiasts are preservationists, and not in the market for rat rods or rat mods.
On this note, I don’t think this is the first or second time he has irreversibly modded a kit and lobbed a Molotov into the brush of drum preservationists igniting reaction.
Seems to me most kits he buys new more oft high end or vintage; and, imminently some sort of drilling has to take place, and it can’t be due to height because I’m short myself
lol and can get behind any kit I’ve ever played without giving a single thought to drilling a modded feature.
Finally, to give some rebuke on my side, my kits are not ‘tools’ for gigs, nor are they toys to tinker with.
It’s not that the definition of ownership defines me, it’s the pride to know what you have and take care of said piece(s).
I’m no working drummer so I don’t worry about ROI whatsoever - just joy in shedding.
Bo essentially your right to mod how and what you want, but this swaggering broadcast in such an edgy way will get what you wanted - a reaction.
I Just hope you will find ‘the one’ that eases your mind.
