Yeah Im totally serious bro... NUS allows me to land at its soccer field from 8-10am daily because my dad owns 50% of NUS woohoo.
On hindsight, to TS, I'm sorry if my post came about as very antagonistic - I'm that kind of a person and I tend to say/write things on impulse.
My family's middle-income, and my bro's in poly now, so I try not to impose too much financially on my parents, which explains why I took up PT jobs during sch sem.
Drumming is my hobby, and although I'm playing 3 times a week now, it still will remain as my hobby. Taking into consideration that I'm the only person who will benefit from it, I think it's only fair that whatever expenses I incur come directly from my pocket.
One piece of advice that I can give TS is to set your sights on something - say a Demon Drive pedal, and start setting aside money to save. $50 a month, and you'll just need half a year to save up. It's never good to make caustic comments because somebody owns alot of gear (if that's the case I'd go nuts because I've seen shitty drummers who can't keep time own Tama SCs, paiste sigs, and 3 high end snares myself.), but to know that whatever gear you own belongs to you because you paid for it yourself.
@Mac91:
Get the demon drive bro! It's pricey for sure, but I own one myself and I must say that I'm really loving the feel I get out of it. A few draw backs though... it's VERY shiny and once it gets dirty, it looks quite bad. Also, the beater that comes with it is rather light, so I changed to the pearl quad-beater which is heavier, and the feel, as well as the sound, is wayy better.
