Diversion

I treated myself to my first ever brand new drum set. It's a Pearl Rhythm Traveler, with mesh heads that give the same feel (almost) as the real ones, but they do not make anywhere near as much noise. I can practice in near silence and not even disturb anyone in the house.

I fashioned a platform to keep it off the ground.

Some friends at work have a band and let me sit in on a practice when their regular, real drummer could not make it. I played 10 or more songs, probably playing more than I ever have before with other musicians. It was a rip, I hope they invite me back again.
