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
