I am not a drummer or percussionist, and I don't play one on TV. Neither do I know a thing about drums, except they make noise when you hit them. However, I do have a Tama drum kit, and an Alesis SR-16 drum machine. I bought the Alesis for my studio, I use it to write songs and record stuff all by myself. The Drums I bought from my old friend Tony, who could sell ice to eskimos. (That's him in the pic below) Tony wanted to put together a new kit for himself and convinced me to buy his old one. I was skeptical at first but it has been a big success. When Tony came to visit I used to have to scrounge around and borrow drums for him to play, and now I have my own, all set up and ready to play anytime. They are fully miked for recording as well. Also, when I have jam sessions and do studio recording, other drummers love it when they don't have to lug their gear to my house, all they have to do is bring sticks.
