Damn. That's what happens to a boy when his parents force him to look at a useless Cosmic Avenger cart for an entire year.
When my parents got me my first drumkit, their initial plan was to give me one piece each Christmas and anniversary!
When they got divorced in 1984 and I went to live with my dad, he gave me the rest of the kit at once. So at least I had that. 
lol

I got Rush's Roll the Bones on CD from my uncle about 3 months before I got a CD player. I never knew for sure if he knew I'd be getting one for Christmas or if he just bought the CD without checking first to see if I had a way to play it.

That's pretty messed up. It'd be 3 - 4 occasions before you could even do anything useful with it.

I guess they were happy that they wouldn't have to buy me any presents for the next 5-6 odd years lol
I can't recall which piece I got first, I think it was the snare drum. My dad is a musician too so he wasn't completely ignorant about it. But I don't remember what piece I got next.. bass drum without the pedal? Hihat stand without the cymbals? lol
They had "hidden" the whole kit in a compartment between the roof and the rooms on the top floor of the house, I remember being home alone, taking out everything and putting it together to play.
