I actually sit at my writing desk when replacing CPUs. It has a hard
formica/rock surface which also happens to be largely static free.

My old junior high band directory was a drum geek.

The "coffee table" in his living room was a 9 foot long xylophone, he
had a set in the corner near the TV, and he had a pair of rollotom "end

His wife was... tolerant.
