For the past several days, I’ve been trying to declutter my parents house of old stuff that’s been sitting around forever. Admittedly, a lot of the stuff is mine that they didn’t know they were allowed to throw out because I was away at college, working in KC or Bangalore, or at school in Chicago.
I’m particularly sad to put my Pearl drum set on Craigslist. I don’t know why actually, because it’s not like I was ever that great at drumming. Probably mediocre at best, but it was a fun outlet.
Some part of me thought I would one day pick up the sticks again and start playing, maybe in some improv jazz band. On the other hand, seeing these drums sit here and go to waste without some potentially talented kid banging on them makes me cringe.
Here’s to hoping I pick up an instrument again and play it with the same spirit and passion I had at seventeen when I got my first drum set.
