Keep the spurs of the bass drum. They are hard to get. Sell the bassdrum without the spurs.

  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...
