I just bought the DTX-500 from Guitar Center, approximately 10 minutes ago. It’s not like I can spare the money, but I just had to do it. For my sanity.
- because if not now, then when?
- because this was my new year’s resolution like two years ago - to buy a drum set, whether electronic or acoustic, depending on my living situation.
- because I’m sick of sacrificing what’s “me” for what’s expected of me
- because a laptop or new clothes would’ve been great, but this makes me happier
- because I’m very impulsive on these things
- because some days, I don’t want to be practical, I just want to be frivolous and careless
- because it’s my life and I’m the boss, I make the decisions, no matter what
- because Guitar Center had a 12% discount off of a purchase of $149 or more (no affiliation)
- because I’ve let so much of my hobbies go in the recent life, I’ve become settled and boring
- because I would love to eventually buy an amp and spend my weekends playing music at Balboa Park
- because music can improve our lives more dramatically than any healthcare or political policy; music can improve our lives more dramatically than nice clothes and a nice car
- because, where the fuck has my rhythm gone? Without practice, this hobby will become another “I used to —”
- because I’m awesome.
- because — just because.
