My kit sits in my office, and every so often one of my cymbals rings for no reason. First I thought it was a fly or something hitting the ride, but there's no flies today and that shit rang.

..Is my kit haunted?

Fly, you have a leak from the ceiling or you pissed of a bass guitarist.

I had a Zildjian ride cymbal that did this occasionally.

The guys at the music store said: "If you're in an apartment or multi-family building, it's likely a subsonic vibration from someones TV or Stereo. It happens. But, if you're in a house with no adjoining neighbor? You're fucked!" True story. LOL

Hard floor, or carpet? Seismic activity?

Or, make up something cool and post in the creepy thread in GD.
