(No, not that -- stop that, you pervert....)

For about 2 years, I've been harassing the guys in the drum department about one of their display pieces.

It's a half circle aluminum tube with lots of holes on it for aluminum rods -- great for mounting cowbells and stuff on. I've tried to buy that thing almost every time I go in there.

I pop in yesterday, and it's no where to be seen. The sales rep comes up to me, and asks to help me as I'm busting out some doumbek technique on a frame drum. I ask a couple of questions about getting a big 22" Ocean drum ordered and how much leeway I can get on the frame drum I'm holding, and then I comment on the display piece.

"Oh, we got a new one. we're not going to use that one anymore."

My heart leapt. "Really? Consider selling that one to me?"

"Let me check."

Turns out he's the assistant manager, and he GIVES the thing to me.

My drum rig is going to look so cool at CMA Samhain.
