but that's not how you play the drums!

Today I set up 6 drum kits, and it got me thinking, remember when you would look through a SEARS catalog, or Zellers, and they always had economy line, barely playable drum kits in them?

Did you ever notice that whoever set them up had obviously never played drums?

Well now when I come across those photos I am going to post them here and make fun of them, because they deserve it.



I mean look at this guy.

He sure is having a good time playing on his brand new Prodigy drum kit. It doesn't matter that the snare is below his knees, his high hats are up to his chin and his rack toms are a foot in a half apart, this is the most fun he will ever have being a catalog model.

At least until that ski equipment shoot next week.

PS. This drum kit costs 429.99 plus tax. It is listed as a Prodigy 5 pc Drum kit with Power Toms. I guess the power costs extra. Do your kid a favor, spend the extra hundred and buy a decent used set of REAL drums.

  3. Yes, I know that, but why not just display them? Having someone play them like that just looks ridiculous.
