....in a fire?
If your drum room/studio is going up in flames, out of all the drummy stuff you currently own, what would you get out first?
And let's assume any family/pets etc have been safely removed from the place (not that many wives, cats and dogs etc usually frequent 'the drum area')
I'd probably go for my Spaun Silvervein 13x6 snare. |

My old Pearl Powershifter double pedal- a heavy old beast compared to some but still my favourite of all the ones I have tried. Drums come and go, the pedal always remains!

definitely not... most drum stuff is replaceable. even the stuff that isn't, there is another nice ride out there... but I would grab my imac. too much work and time and attempts at being creative have gone into logic files on there!
if I had a great mic selection that would be next in line. |

I would run down the street asking if anyone else had any drums they'd like to throw on the pyre.
Only kidding.
It would be the 20" "Standard Quality" Zyn that I bought for a fiver off ebay.
And, no, I'm not kidding. |

My Roland TD-6 and amp. Why? Well, my two acoustic kits in my drum room are midrange kits I got pretty cheaply, the cymbals in there are all ok for teaching but not great for gigging, all my GOOD drum stuff is in the band van, I got the TD-6 for a song (£195) and it would cost me a hell of a lot more to replace that than the acoustic kits.
Well, either the TD-6 or my porn collection.

If we're widening it to music stuff in general I'd be saving my Strat. It's a really special one that plays so well I doubt I'd ever find one as nice again. And yes I'd take that over any drum stuff. |

I'd do that too, if it's not against the rules of the thread (there may be yelling shortly) 
I've got a few cymbal cases, so it'd be the one with the K Con BB and the Nolan Rogan Josh rides. |
