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.
