I don't think my drums love me as much as I love them.
In my back yard I have a small Mobil home I converted into my Music room for stereo large speakers,
reel to reel recorder ,turntable, and LP's + 45's and most important my 4 pc drum set. I removed all 4 tires and wheels from this Mobil home and set it concrete blocks then built 5 steps in order to get in and out of it, I had intended to go back later and add a handrail to the stairs because they are steep all most Stright up, But I never got back to the railing.
Then this one fine evening I decided to go in and play my drums a while, after an hour are so I got up went out to lock the door I lost my balance on the top step I fell sideways and landed right next to the steps and my right arm was cut by and old metal music stand I had thrown out and never Pick'd up. And there I was laying Jam'd up against the steps and almost on top of the music stand, with blood pouring from cuts and unable to pick myself up, then after a bit I finally managed to get loose, I had a really hard time trying to get up, but I did, I got on my riding lawn mower rode around to the front yard got in my pickup went the ER hospital where they put 6 stiches in my right arm. Now remember, I'm 83 years old and I've had a 5-way heart bypass and I'm wearing a heart bypass in my chest
I have to use 2 walking canes in order to be able to walk around a bit. now that's been about three months ago, in the meantime I've had a railing built on those steps and also bought a Ludwig bass drum from one of our DF members. I'm getting ready to go back up those steps and play my drums again!
I will say this, falling from the top step to the ground was smooth sailing, it was that (Sudden Stop that got me!! OUCH!!! But hey, I love to play my drums.
