I agree with you Kev...

Cheers

Thanks guys! My gut says to sell the Powertone and keep the SK,but the SK is on beautiful shape. I think I need to take the PT apart, clean and polish itbefore making a decision.

Guess all things equal, I prefdr the Powertone.

Oh well..

Thanks.

Im interested in the powertone if you want to sell it. Let me know what you'd need for it. I have a 68 kit that I need a snare for.

My vote is to put your foot down and don't sell anything! My wife thinks my "new" drumming passion is a mid-life crisis as I tell her I would love to get good enough to play in a hair-rock cover band. I get the rolling eyes, the comments, the laughing, the jokes while I am out there trying to break the windows while playing, and the complaints; but do you know what? I still have MY drums in HER spot in the garage and they aren't moving!!! Actually, the garage is 30 x 30 but she just doesn't seem to be able to figure out that her car would fit with room to spare in front of the drums....LOL. Even better!!! I have put up with the hundreds of rubber stamps, the stupid teddy bears everywhere, and the dining room table covered with coupons for 10 cents off a jar of spaghetti sauce, so she can deal with my drums. My advice in this rant is to passive-aggressively accentuate some things of hers that you feel are overwhelming to try and create a compromise!

Have a wonderful evening

This bright, I'll let you know after doing my clean and polish on the Powertone.

Drum hack...I know, but my wife is very cool and puts up with all my stuff...she doesn't actually have much stuff of her own to complain about. As she always says, "it's all about you" ...so just trying to even things out a bit. A happy wife is a happy life!

Yes Sir

BBK, I could not say it any better....That's my Vote time for new wife...Mikey

You should bring your wife over to my house to see my stash. It would totally alter her perception about "too many" snares. Then she would feel much better about your snare collection.

Here's a idea. Tell her she doesn't need all those shoes and purses and when she cleans half of them out you will sell something.

My wife is on me constantly to sell a couple drum sets so instead of argueing I just list something on craigs list in front of her then delete it. and say,Hey I'm trying.

I know about keeping them happy. If there not happy, nobody's happy.

My wife is from Ecuador and I don't want that Latin temper flareing up believe me.

You will never find peace if you put this on the wife. A drum is a drum. But, your wife is your mate, your partner, your best friend ... half of you. If this becomes an issue of "her against the drums", it really doesn't matter what drum you sell; you've got a deeper issue. Peace between you and your wife is and should always be above some goofy drum. As Kev said, there will be another drum.

Now, to answer your question ... sell the one that touches your drumming soul the least. It's not about money, remember? So, part with the one that is least among you. It sounds like the PT.

Whatever you do, good luck. I sincerely hope it all works together for your good.

I was in a situation where it was the drums or the wife, and I regretted that I chose her. But it was a different time MANY years ago, and it was 150% a control issue for her. Needless to say that we've been parted for well over 15 years...

I am married to a wonderful woman. She pretty well lets me get away with a lot as far as purchases go. I also iron her clothes, do the laundry, cook most of the meals, take care of the garden and pool and make her tea. I am also my daughter Trixie's main care giver. So I have a bit of carte blanche (for the most part).

I would say that you should probably hammer out a compromise. How many handbags does she buy per year? Does she buy a ton of cheap ones, a few expensive ones? What about shoes? Clothes? There's two of you, after all. You should have a voice in this just like she does. Don't be afraid.

I operate on one principle: It is much easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission. But this is a different situation.

Do what your heart says is right. And I wouldn't sell off the wife.
