Today I've had to say goodbye to my old drums (pictured).  They've been gathering dust in the attic for six years, and now my parents are moving and they've got to go.

I started thumping tubs at about eight, and bought these second hand from an advert in Loot magazine when I was 14.  At the time I was playing in a nu-metal cover band called 'Prosaic'.  George was on bass, and it ended with a slightly unpleasant fall out.  Unpleasant, but had it not been for that I'm not sure we would have started writing our own music.

If you're interested, it's a rather worn chrome Pearl Export kit, now on eBay.
