Naturally - mine is still on bedside cabinet. I like to say goodnight!

1 very large drum kit – 6 drums and 7 cymbals + stool :

WOW!! Can I come round and have a go on that please!!!

I know someone else who would like to as well:




We'll be round later Kaz, OK?

[Kaz]

That would be wicked and double cool, ROB - pop round anytime and I'll make sure that Paul gets a private lesson.

I just knew there was a subliminal reason why I tolerate OH practicing in the basement while I'm trying to watch the TV directly above!

Unfortunately the drums aren't sparkly, but the kit does have shiny gold fittings, and there are some lovely silver stars on the base drum skin. I'd love to bring it with me on 2nd November, but I don't think I'd be allowed on the train with that much hand luggage.
