Lost & found percussion instruments in San Francisco Bay Area

Lost drums near Golden Gate Park, San Francisco Bay Area

Last Friday at 3:45 p.m., I realized my drums were gone from the rehearsal space near Golden Gate Park in the San Francisco Bay Area. I stepped out to grab a quick snack and when I turned back, the gear was missing from the corner by the Music Concourse. It’s a battered kit with a bright red finish, a few chipped edges, and a stubborn strap that always squeaks when I move it. I’ve been replaying the moment I walked away, praying someone returned them to the park staff. If you found them, please know they’re not just instruments to me; they’re memories of every open mic and late-night practice.
