Trying to decide, should I sell My drum kit?

Help Me decide, guys. Should I sell My kit or not?
A bit of background. I have had My drum kit for around 8 years or so. I bought' em originally because I wanted learn how to play, and just have' em around for the occasional jam if drummer friends came over and wanted to make some noise. Initially, I played them quite a bit and was taking some lessons from a friend of mine. As time has passed and a regular band gig got going, I have played them less and less. As a matter of fact I cant recall playing them at all in the past year. I really got to thinking hard about it today as I was checking them out and noticed that they were covered in spider webs.....

Your thoughts?

I wouldn't sell them unless you are in dire financial straits. As soon as you sell them you'll want to play/will have neil peart in your home wanting to jam.

I was going to sell my drums a few months ago, but then I was asked to supply drums at a local jam session. Now I have a bass playing gig.

So, it's possible that your drums could get you work. It happened to me. I kept the drums, then later traded up with another drummer for a better kit.

With drums I would ask, do you have the space?

I have been thinking about doing the same thing. I will miss them terribly if I do, but man... those things take up SO much space when you don't have a rehearsal room.

If you don't sell them, you might be a hoarder.

No, but really, I've been selling stuff lately just to prove I'm not a hoarder ... and to get money to buy more gear. Uh oh.

DUST off the spider webs and SELL them. Otherwise, you're just another hoarder like me!

I have the space for'em no doubt... But they do take up space in My man-cave/music room... Just thinking of the things that could take the space where the drum kit was ,another amp, card table, beer meister...

Yep, the hoarder bug does frighten Me. Every time I happen to watch that TV show, I am reminded of My grandma with her antique furniture and pianos (baby grand, and upright).
