As I've mentioned here before, last year I began trading drums for Old K cymbals thereby reducing one collection and increasing another...

I currently have almost 30 snare drums on display at my girlfriend's house! That's not even counting a few more snares I need to clean up AND all my vintage metal-shell snare drums! My girlfriend isn't crazy about metal-shell snare drums, but says I can have one representative drum. It's like picking your favorite child!!!

I will say this in all seriousness:
- unless you are "collecting" really high end drums, then collecting drums is a fairly inexpensive hobby compared to something like autos.
- starting with snare drums is a good idea as snares take little room, usually cost less than an entire kit and are extremely useful for a gigging drummer. You should at least have two snares at a gig just in case, but having some sonic options in your arsenal is always good. Steve Jordan plays a four piece with Eric Clapton but he has a huge arsenal of snares and uses a different snare on almost every song.
- If you are a gigging drummer then it's good to have a few kits available, especially if you play a variety of styles. A big rock kit, a great medium all-around kit and possibly a bop kit if applicable. Then there are different tonal options available. Basically I just want to give you some great excuses to feel good about keeping your addiction going.

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

I have already hit the kit stage, for most of my life I had one kit, a week ago I had four and now have three as I offloaded two to get one I wanted badly.
They are all of differing sizes to give me flexability, I have also amassed a fair collection of Trans stamp Zildjians. I don't think this obsession is going away anytime soon but it's good to know there are worse offenders out there.
