{1979}
My first drum set tucked into the corner of my bedroom

This was my first drum-set.
The drummer from my sisters boyfriend's band was getting a new set and offered to sell his old beatup Pearl set to me cheap.
Once again my mom came through and I think somewhat regretted it ever since :)
After school almost everyday I would play from abt 3-4:00Pm to 7:00Pm (that was my cutoff time)

The Snare Drum a Ludwig Acrolite was my first snare that I had got when I joined band in 4th grade.

Also the first silver looking tom was one of the first Ludwig Stainless Steel toms I got for a birthday.
I never did wind up getting more of them :(
