Help Chris Replace His Stolen Backline Gear!

Donation protected
Hello, friends, I’ve found myself in quite a difficult position, and I’m hoping that you can help me out of it.  

 Recently, I was hospitalized for a serious medical emergency. On top of all the medical stuff, Saturday morning (8/5/23), while recovering at home, all of my backline drumming gear was stolen out of the back of my mom’s van.   

When I filed the police report, I was shocked  to discover that I was basically walking around with a host of gear worth $4k. Amazing how all those bits and pieces add up. 

 With all the chaos swirling around me right now, I am in no position to be able to afford to replace this gear, and odds are the police will not be able to help. I am humbly requesting any help that can be thrown my way in this time of need. Every little bit helps. Thank you. 

 Here’s what was stolen: 
* Tough Traveller Drumslinger cymbal bag (fabric with black with yellow stripes, backpack straps, and gaff on the handle) 
* Cymbals (all Zildjian): 
       14” vintage Constantinople hi hats     
       17” K Dark Thin crash     
       18” K Sweet crash     
       21” A Sweet ride     
       Thick finger cymbals in a red fabric cinching bag 
* Custom 14” Pork Pie hybrid maple/brass/maple snare drum (painted matte black with cherry red sparkle stripe) with wood batter hoop and PureSound snares 
* SKB 5.5” x 14” snare drum hard case 
* DW 9000 kick drum pedal 
* Gibraltar Quick Release hi hat clutch 
* Humes and Burg Tuxedo mallet bag
      Contents of the bag:     
             Assorted sticks, mallets, and brushes
             Assorted drum keys     
             Westone Pro X30 Earphones     
             Shure in-ear case 
* Various splitters and adapters:     
             1 male to 3 female 1/8” TRS adapter
             Female to female xlr adapter     
             2 1/8” to 1/4” TRS adapters 
             Apple Lightning to 3.5mm audio adapter 
* Odds and ends like cymbal felts, washers, and stand sleeve protectors, timpani mallet felt, etc.
