an observation about drummers

Surely the natural antagonism between drummers and guitarists is universal. I'll admit that I have a new found respect for you guys now that I'm starting to dabble. My primary instructor has been youtube, and I've found some good things. I have noticed however that the comments on youtube instructio...

Hey Tele, I'm by nature a cheap sob so I found one on ebay used for $100. It appears to me that there are a ton of these cheaply made cocktail kits out there that all look to be made in the same place, but sold under different names.

New to everything

First off, I don't play the drums..yet. I saw a cocktail kit while surfing around on ebay and just thought it looked so danged cool that I had to have it, so for 107 bucks I'm the owner of a fairly used HB cocktail kit and I have no idea of what to do with it. It sure looks nice sitting next to my g...
