Please buy Tenzin a Drum Set

I'm a 17-year-old kid in high school who has been playing the drums for about 5 years now.

I moved to Chicago last year and have been dying to get a drum set. I started consistently practicing this school year and my appreciation for the instrument has skyrocketed.

I'm currently a part of a band with some friends and we've been really struggling to practice because I don't own a drum set, so we've been reliant on teachers staying after school to let us practice. Otherwise, I have to use the buckets in my friend's basement, but it just doesn't play the same.

I've been trying to get a job for a long time now to save up to buy one, but it feels impossible getting hired in Chicago if you're under 18. Although, if you know of a place that will hire me, please let me know.
