what would you spend $25 on?

[Picksorsticks]

I received a $25 gift card in the mail from the GC because I'm such a "good customer"....I have to use it this weekend

any thoughts on what to get???/

things I'd like to get all cost way more than $25, another cymbal, better amp, vex kits, etc.

I was thinking of a book or dvd

anyone have any suggestions for some great "must have" item for $25 or less???

thanks in advance

Really nice sticks that you normally couldn't get yourself to drop 25 bones on?

spare cables..you know you'll need them

Evans Torque Drum Key ($24.99)?

Me personally, I'd get my Vater or Evan's stick wrap. As many rolls as the $25 would buy, so like 4, haha.

A Gibratler clamp
Stick case
Adapters
Spare headphones for guests
Plastic brushes
Practice pad
A $25 gift card (so you can use it later for something you really want) if they will let you...

GC sent me one as well, but only for $20. Apparently they like you better. lol jk. I ended up spending mine on a new practice pad.

I have everything mentioned in this thread except the practice pad.

Do I need a practice pad? I have 4 kits already. LOL

I was told once that a practice pad is much better to do stick exercises with than a regular drum (or e-drum) because it's less forgiving and it requires you to be more in control.

Anyone agree/disagree with that?

Otherwise.... it will be a new cable. LOL (Although, the gift card idea is awesome. I'll definitely try that).

[Picksorsticks]

I spent $24.94 out of the $25

I ended up getting a Hal Leonard CD/book and the latest issue of Modern Drummer...their stick selection was depleted a bit...

anyway, thanks for all the suggestions

I got a capo for my friend and a new Live Wire cable.

I also had a 10% off coupon that expired today so I got the $20 capo and the $8 cable and I paid $2.19.

I also asked about the wiggle of buying a gift certificate with it. All the guys laughed as non of them had thought of it. They also said there was no reason I couldn't do it.

That's 'cause they were probably thinking like guitar players and not like drummers.

Gibraltar clamps...definitely.
