Getting ready for tour.

Just wanted to share a photo of some of the new stuff I’ll be using on the upcoming tour. The box on the floor tom is a drum pad device like a trigger finger but i’m using arcade buttons instead. Also planning on doing a kind of hybrid thing with extra pads and triggers. Enjoy!

Old Setups, Part One…

I found this photo today on my laptop.  Wow.  I used to like Carter Beauford.  A bunch.  Can you tell?  I still have a heavy dose of respect for him, don’t get me wrong.  I’ve just moved on.  No hard feelings, just moved on…

 

 

Photo taken – Summer of 2001

 

Other ways I’ve moved on:

  1. Monstrosity of an electronics setup.
    • SP202 sampler.  Ancient.
    • Both an Alesis DMPro (for the sub kick sound) and a D4 (for the click sound (the Tama triggered the D4)).
    • MIDI loom both to and from the 50lb Drum Kat.  Professionally loomed with cheap blue, green, and white electrical tape.
    • Two Mixers, harder to see is the blue Rolls mixer in the rack
  2. Percussion
    • Woodblock – I do not miss it. You shouldn’t either.
    • Cowbell – I should bring this back.
    • Tambourine – The Hi Hat mic is really competing for space now.
    • Wind Chimes!!!
  3. Other
    • I used to organize my stick bag.
    • My ride was mounted vertically (and it’s a Z-Custom!)
    • Extra pedals – Subkick and bank change switch.
    • Splash Cymbal – Shane Wilson won’t give this one back.

If there’s something I’ve missed.  Let me know.
