i dunno if this is appropriate or not in this topic... but, in my early years of drumming i went to this church for lessons and each saturday there'd be music lessons. the church had two drumkits, one on stage and one in storage. the beginners playing on one and advanced students playing on the other. so one saturday i get there and the 2nd drumkit which was in storage(which for some reason was the better one) was locked in and no one had the keys. needless to say one can't teach like ten or fifteen people on one kit - all of whom were eager to play! so my teacher made a real diy plan...
he said,"screw it!" so we set-up the kit, added another snare in front of the bass reso head, another hi hat and attached a bass pedal to the reso side of the bass. this was all thanks to my teachers laziness of not unloading all of his gear out of his car after his gig the previous night. then another snare in the position where one usually has the secondary snare, got another pedal to connect to a floor tom. and there you go! three players on one kit! although the two drummers on the one side had to share hi hats. no one really learned anything that day but we had a lot of fun and just played! that was an awesome day which i'll never forget. just one of those stories... good times.
