This isnt a question, but Im really mad at my brother because he insists that he has to play this game where you kick a ball all over the room, and the room just happens to be the same room my set is in, he ALWAYS hits it, luckily its a cheap set and he doesnt hit it too hard,but once im old enuf to get a job and raise some money (im olny 14) ive got my eye on a 5 peice mapex, what sounds better, making him (forcefully because im 3 times as strong as him) never play the game again, or making him pay for part of the set, he also plays on it sometimes and hits way too hard, getting him to pay makes more sense since he plays on it, but id never get the money, so ill probly end up hitting him a few times until he gets the message "I love my set more than you". And dont tell me to ask my parents cuz they dont really care and think a set will last forever. Thanks for listening.

No slam on you Goat, but I think that would be non-topic. We all get a little sidetracked on here, but I can't see us settling childish family disputes. No offense to the poster, come up with creative ways to keep your bro outta your hair. Like for instance, tell him you'll pay him to do your chores, then tell him his pay goes toward a new kit.

Not good to hate...Much less your own Bro....Just teach him a lyc or two on your kit and maybe he'll respect it...Hate is a bad word when it comes to family..That Is My 2 Cents !!

Don't hate your family. Someday you'll need them. Just tell him to respect your stuff. Or work something out with your parents.

I hated my sister for being a drug addict. Now she's dead. I can't tell her that I really didn't hate her. She called me 5 times the week she died, and I didn't answer one of those calls.

Don't hate on family members. Don't hate at all if you can help it, because it all loops back on you.

But it's OK to vent. Venting is good.

My dad died suddenly last year after a non-life threatening surgery. My woman and I had just gotten back from spending our 11 year anniversary at DisneyLand and got back around 3am on Sept. 1. At 6:30am there was a message from my mom saying that something had happened and I needed to get to the hospital right away. He spent the next 12 days on life support until his body began to shut down. At 1:30pm on Sept. 12, 2006 I watched my father die.

My dad was in 'Nam and was a career Air Force guy. He always treated me like he was a drill sergeant and I was a new recruit. I hated him for it and actually went almost four years without talking to him after I turned 18 and moved out. The last week he was alive, we actually had one good conversation but we'd been fighting again for most of '06. We purposely missed each other's birthdays and his wasn't even a month before he died. I'll never get to make up for that. My dad will never get to see me become successful with music. I'll never have my father to talk to again. I'll never be able to build the relationship I always wanted with him. He's gone and I still feel the emptiness inside me. I can't even watch a father/son moment on TV without tearing up.

Your drums are easily replaceable material items. When a family member dies, they aren't replaceable. Get your fucking priorities straight.

edit:
I'm actually going to add to this for more impact. In '05 my maternal grandmother died of heart failure, in '04 my aunt died of cancer, and in '03 my other grandmother died. I pray that we can make it through this year without losing another family member. And this doesn't count the 10 or so friends and family members who've also died in the past ten years.

If you can't see the fact that your brother is bothered by something and is purposely pissing you off by lashing out, you're as blind as a dead bat. Talk to him like a brother and find out what his trip is. If your brother died tomorrow, how would you feel re-reading this post you made in anger? Don't give me some bullshit cool kid "I gottsta play tough" answer either.

Dude, that's so wrong... loving your kit more than your own brother?? No matter how important drumming is to me, family goes first, dude. I hope you learn that as soon as possible so you can really cherish what you have.

as the great Don Corleone once said.. "A man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man"
