This is a better answer, or even just so you can make a getaway.
I dont think most regular people would realise how much drum gear is but cymbals are worth like (USD)$350-550 each, and cymbal stands, thrones and other brackets/hardware can be $50+ each, kick pedals can easily be in the thousands and not to mention the drums themselves.
A dick with a raging hard-on for violence and low emotional IQ (aka the target audeince for this performance) could easily come ruin your day.
You're describing top-of-the-line gear. I'm a guitarist, and I'm not showing up with my best axe. I'm going to use that old beater that I don't mind using as a weapon if necessary. We aren't look for a nuanced, insightful performance here, just loud and obnoxious, and you can easily do that with a shitty instrument.
