Pancakes....

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 sounds cruel, but IMO if someone packs their stuff in the back of a pickup, they deserve what happens...
 
At a minimum, the drummer needs one of these:

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.
