Now I have a really nice set of Natal drums that I really like but don't have that "can't get rid of them" feeling. I would trade/sell them in a heartbeat if the right bop set came up. I don't if I just need to find my "dream kit" or I need to stop looking at drums and just be happy.
Anyone else had this problem before?
I think a lot of people "chase" after what they feel will be the perfect drum set. I know I have had GAS bad a few times in the last few years, but just recently I realized that if I spent all of the time on my kit that I spend perusing CL, FB Marketplace, Reverb, etc, the drums I have would sound much better because I would actually BE better on them.
