    This guy i know. He is a friend of my friends family. He loves my drumming and use to come watch my bands play live through tafe and whatnot. He thinks im awesome and said if i need help with money for a kit. He would lone me the money?

    What do you guys think about loning money for the td20 from this guy? He is serious and i wouldnt screw him around. But it is 10 grand. My friend says he would be good for it and genuinly happy to help us out.

    I'm not a big fan of this type of thing. Especially with such a large amount of money. Whatever you do, make sure you have the ability to pay him back. Also, get "everything" in writing.

    I wouldnt like to be in that much debt to a priveate person who is not a member of my family. Why not ask for a really small loan and buy a cheap kit to practice on?

    I'm with Drummer, on this one. Getting a loan from this man would put you in debt to him, and you don't know enough about him to know what that would mean to you. Essentially, he owns you until you pay him back. he might be the nicest guy in the world, but he might also be using that to take advantage of you. Until you know for sure, you should not do this deal! if you do know that he can be trusted, the only way to make sure that there are no problems in the future, is to get everything in writing. Otherwise, he could ask for all his money back at anytime, and if you cannot give it to him, he could demand your drums.

    I see a possible upside, but even more dangers! I know it's hard to come on here and see others getting the things they want, while you are not able to do the same, but I think this might be a time when you have to exercise a bit more patience. Sorry!

    No its martain and he is really cool . I think he would be cool with saying he owns it until i save 10grand to pay him back actually.

    Infact, He would prolly be fine with me waiting and paying him in 1000$ installments untill its done

    oh one thing to think about too. Martain is a lonely person. His family has left him his wife left him. His daughter he didnt know existed lives in dutchland. And he does nothing but work and go shooting. He loves me. He thinks im drum lord which is crazy. He hates my parents before meeting them because they wouldnt lone me money :P

    He prolly has heaps saved up with nothing to do with it. I would tak to him about all this too.

    Lol Seriously, though, Stevo, just keep in mind that although we cannot know your circumstances completely, I think we all see danger in this. Please be careful, and think this trough carefully!
