One of my favorite jokes is, What to you call the people that travel with a band and take all that time setting up stands, racks and equipment? A drummer.
When I first thought of cutting back on vehicles I belonged to a world percussion group. Long time ago that we called Conundrum. I know not too catchy. I started out on the kit, a full Gretsch Catalina with racks,. hat, Piaste cymbals, and percussion mikes. I also had a percussion set of Congas, Bongos, blocks, chimes, shakers, Djembe and all of the noise makers that go with it. I was one of those people.
There were weeks and weekends I could leave the car at home and ride my bikes. There were weeks and weekends when I could play my drums. Normally they were different times. Others may be better at it than me.
