Yep, that's a good start there Ken!  I remember buying the smallest kit Roland made, but I couldn't stop adding things until it was completely maxed out.  Next time I'll start with the larger kit!

Having your drum kit slide away is part of the experience. Chasing that kick drum around the stage is half of the fun. My favorite was trying to play while trying to keep my ride cymbal from taking off in the wind. Sure, having a 20" cymbal slicing through the crowd would have added a surreal element to the show, but I wasn't done using it. 


If I was a drummer, I'd probably agree.
I've had to chase my hi hat on stage a few times, and didn't enjoy it much
My "rubber drums" would probably not kill anyone

Nice! I've already thought about upgrades to mine

Starting by getting a floor fan?

For Reals, Mesh.
 
I was playing an outdoor gig one time (at a small town Octoberfest) when the wind was fairly strong. I had to keep grabbing my ride cymbal (or it's stand) to keep it from flying away. The wind caught it just right to give it some lift while other cymbals just waved madly. Some people crowded closer and started taking pictures, apparently hoping to get a glimpse of some real Death Metal. (Not the genre we were playing, by the way.) Unfortunately, they never got that chance and I was able to finish the gig. Since this predated social media, Internet, and Fire, none of the pictures survived. I still have the cymbal, although it's somewhat shredded.

Speaking of windy.....I played air drums once and almost broke my nose. Luckily, it was a short gig.

I suffered an air guitar injury once. Nailed the solo from the floor behind the bed, though.

I also had an air double post once. It didn't count, not that it matters.

An improvement from the guitar solo no doubt?
