to have and to hold... or not

2008-05-26 by jesper

Boys,

I have for many years beaten the crap out of a set of SDS-8 pads along 
with an original SDS-V bass drum. Now I'm putting together a set of pads 
with real/mesh skins and plan to sell the hexagons, especially since 
it's just SDS-8's and being a "Simmons God (tm)" I focus on older units. 
*haha*
But, my main concern/question is: Is it a bad idea to let the bass drum 
go too? Maybe I'll get the idea one day to get a real SDS-V set and the 
tom pads are both easier to ship and easier to come by one by one than 
the bass drum. So, should I keep the bass drum "just in case"?
To use it together with the set I have now would be style murder. THe 
plexiglass of the Pollards and the mahogny of the SDS-IV is OK together 
in some weird way, but a heaxagon back spaceship with spurs below that 
would looke strange indeed.
Views pleaaazzzzz...
