Animal Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Nice one dude, glad your enjoying it. My band just imploded tonight, so I've brought all my gear back from the rehearsal room. I managed to fit my kit, cymbals stands & stool, a flight bag full of leads & stuff, a Laney wedge monitor, my big mixer, 2 small cabs and a 1k amp into the Supra. Have a good tour.

Guest dragondrummer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) See my other thread. Basically 2 of us work away during the week and it just got too much. ahh i see,just watched ya on ya myspace,groovy stuff,and im impressed ya use electronic with acoustic cymbals,a winning formula,not many have tried that.edit; i'm also icredibly impressed with the beard! you could hide a badger in that!!

Animal Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 lol, I should try for a Chris Adler beard... Glad you liked the stuff, I've upgraded the brain & cymbals since then. I've got damaged nerves in my left shoulder after a bike accident many years ago so unfortunately I can't reach around a full acoustic kit anymore but the e-kit is an ideal size for me to still have a good selection of toms. Acoustic cymbals are a must, I don't know about the top-end Rolands & Yamahas, but the DTXpress just hasn't got the right sound for playing live - you can't simulate the full dynamics of a proper cymbal. Plus it looks a lot better I'm also proper impressed with the Stagg gear, too - that full set of cymbals including hats, cost me about 400 quid and they sound spot on.

Animal Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I was about to ask about that. I thought that's what you had. Did you use them with acoustic drums as well? That would be an absolute blast having 2 TD20's mixed with an acoustic; the things you could do.... Set up is great - all my cymbals are mounted to the rack, so I can literally unplug the kick drums & line out and carry the whole kit off stage in one go. I apparently do have Skype set up on my phone, I've just not used it yet, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragondrummer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 i'm almost completely acoustic these days,sometimes use kick triggers when i feel lazy though. e-kits are so easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Evening. Its not bad for parts, the mark MkIV - even better when you can do the work yourself. How were your festivals? I saw your interview with Terrorizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm not bad, thanks. Wacken should be a riot - I really must go there some time. I fitted a set of HID's & a Levoc gear lever this weekend, then went for a blast round the lanes. What a difference the HID's make - so much more light (although I got sent 8000k bulbs by mistake and they're a bit on the blue side). Anyway, you're about to run out of posts, so I'll shut up, lol.
