Well generally expensive drum kits are purchased by working drummers that are making money with them!. I have over $10,000 in my kit but it's paid for itself 10 times over!. Sure that sounds like a lot but do you have any idea what a Les Paul and Mesa Boogie amp go for!? All musicians have to spend a bundle if they want the best!. But like I said, if it is the tool for your job it's worth it!. A good club band can make $20,000 per year, per member just playing weekends and twice that playing full time!. I'm not sure how old you are, but 3 grand isn't all that much money for an adult!. I have almost $3000 in cymbals alone!. If you are talking about younger kids, then yeah, probably well to do parents!. It is also a matter of priority!. I know guys that make $20,000 a year and spend $10,000 a year racing motocross, buying new bikes, new gear, travel expenses, etc!. because that is their true passion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Umm!.!.!.!.they work hard and save their money, would be my guess!. That's how most of us afford the things we want!.

IF they don't work a regular 9-5 job, maybe they have a paper route, or they do a lot of babysitting and lawn mowing for pocket money, or they have generous parents or grandparents!? Or they got a lot of really generous cash gifts for their bar mitzvah!? Maybe they deal drugs on the side!.

Who knows!? Why don't you ask them!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

A sad truth about a lot, not all, but a lot of musicians who don't work but somehow still have great expensive equipment is that they are probably selling drugs, have a sugar momma, or still live off their well todo parents!. You pick!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

they are realy good at playing drums!. A decent gig pays $500+!.The kit pays for itself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
