For buying Drum equipment I do folow those steps, one thing that helped my in the past and present: Dale Carnege: "Win Friends and Infruince People" yes at 11 years old I did listen to this, and I did help, also: "Stop Worring and Start Living": D C (dont ask) W F a I P, Did yes, say to say thier names, but also make them under stand that you know what thier job is.(Yes Kinzie(Animal control officer), I will keep my dog on the leash when I'm at this park the next time, I know you know my dogs friendly, and I will pay the fee)

Also Buy USED CYMBALS (I cant stress it enough) some sound just as new as when they were first made, for one thing, I go to a "World Class" music store.I only have 3 new cymbals out of nine.

Dont BRING ENOUGH MONEY:My new B8 hi hatsI got for $105s with tax, that sometimes works, but i relly mean BRING ONLY ENOUGH.DONT BUY the $40+tax cowbell, buy the $32+tax one if it sounds just as good. I Buy Cheeper stands, They are great double braced, Well constructed, and every thing i could wish for ($39+tax, insted of $75).
