For myself, if there was a piece of Sonor gear I wish I had kept from the beginning it would be the D-500 Reissue I bought new in 1993. It was a magical snare drum, coupled with the fact that it was first piece of Sonor gear I ever owned. I originally sold it to the drummer in a local band and neither he, nor the crew knew a single thing about care and maintenance of drum gear. I ended up getting it back, but certainly not in pristine condition.
I would up selling it to someone in Belgium on eBay. There have been a few times that I have sold something, regretted it and got it back, just to resell it again. I'm just not one to get attached to things, I guess.
