anti G.A.S. club?

[Andreeew]

Hey folks I was wondering since there seem to be many of us here at DC loves showing off their newly acquired gear and for some of us who haven't bought a single piece of equipment for the last six months come on in and sign up!

The last thing I bought was I think my Paiste 3000 ride and that was over a year ago or so. Mostly I haven't got anything new because I'm pretty satisfied with what I have/times are hard (It's easier to be satisfied when you're on a tight budget ) I might break this G.A.S.-fasting by December or March though


(for those who don't know G.A.S. = Gear Acquisition Sydrome )

You could change your name to Maalox... or Beano?

Perhaps the best lesson I could ever learn is to appreciate what I have, and not think about what I want. Same goes for the past/present/future- they are just moments after all. If I think too much or try to live in another moment, I can't stop and enjoy the one i'm being given right now. Sometimes however an oppurtunity comes along and i'll be really happy about that; but still I must always know that what I have is a blessing and when I lose that, is when I truly appreciate what I do have.

The only thing I have bought in the last year other than a new head or two was a new front reso head for my bass drum and a new kick port to go with it. Really there isn't anything I need equipment wise! I haven't even bought any new sticks in tha last couple of years, I bought enough the previous year to keep me supplied!

You do know 2Slow and Bish are mods right?

[Andreeew]

Lol haha. I'm not really against GAS, "anti" here is used as opposite and not as in to go against. Just a thread for people who havent bought anything in the past year

[kaosotis]

I know, I was really teasing Bish and 2Slow. Although they have eased their drum movement of late.

Very wise! New gear is always nice but we do tend to always look ahead sometimes instead of appreciating what we have to the fullest.

[MartyM]

same here! I am happy with what I own now..do I want to add more...sure..who wouldnt'..but when $ is tight..just enjoy what'cha got! after all there are others that would love to have what you have..

The last thing i bought was a pair of 5A's a good 2 months ago. The last major thing I bought was my China, Also 2 months ago. $45? That's still reminiscient of G.A.S. because it's hard to get good stuff (well in my family anyway). I wont be getting anything until my birthday in October, which can't come soon enough.

I shouldn't be looking at this thread, since I just bought a vintage Sonor snare drum.

[xsabers]

I make at least a small purchase every paycheck. Loooooong list of "must haves" ya know...

[xweasel]

I can't afford to have GAS

[dave0549jv]

I sometimes think that having GAS is my favorite part of drumming lord knows I can't actually play the things...
