Last night was our very first gig, and went pretty damn well, even though there were only like 12 ppl there (gotta start somewhere!).
Well after a whole night of my drummer not leaving his drumkit - at all - we finish our set, pack up and away we go.
My drummer took off, with his kit in the back of his puckup.
I wasnt far behind.
So I'm cruising down the freeway, at 2am in a pretty heavy rainstorm and BAM, I hit something... Dead on...
A Box.
A U-haul packing box.
The same box my drummer packed his kick drum in....
It's also the same box that got stuck underneath my car...
Now his drum went from O to |
Oops... |

It's like a drummachine, but with one complimentary angry-ass drummer.

Oops... | It sounds cruel, but IMO if someone packs their stuff in the back of a pickup, they deserve what happens...

Do you have a pic of the kick drum?  |

He's lucky you were behind him and not some (non-connected) civilian.
Technically his auto insurance is responsible for any damage to your car since he failed to properly secure his load.
