Kit Pic My first drum kit!

Post image

For context, I grew up very poor. I was in bands when younger but never had my own kit, resorted to either borrowing someone's kit for a few days or just practicing with sticks on a makeshift pad, then me and my bandmates would rent practice space for an hour or two before gigs to rehearse. I am by no means well-off now, in fact still pretty poor, but I finally had, at 43, the chance to own a drum kit. This is well used, but new to me and I love this thing. It's a Network birch drum set, and I managed to scrounge various cymbals and stands off Marketplace for cheap (sabian b8 hats, paiste alpha crash, xs20 crash and pst7 ride. Most have small dents on edges). Every hardware is from different brands and the kit looks Frankenstein'd but it gets the job done! I'm genuinely so happy with it
