I imagine a few of you might be thinking this thread's a tad overdue. Organisation is not my strong suit. Anyway, here's pictures of the first and only Guru kit in Australia!
Photos from the usual angles plus my first attempts at drum porn, which was fun with such a photogenic kit!
The only audio example so far is a recent free jazz home recording http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LdSl75BAeU&list=UUeZPnPqMHxVdigM8gkNRpiQ&index=1. The toms are tuned too low in this (still getting used to tuning double headed toms - duh) and it's a vintage Drouyn snare but the recording otherwise at least gives an idea of the resonance of the toms and bass drum. They are resonant and beautiful instruments. Next audio will hopefully feature more refined tuning
Many thanks to Andy and Dean for putting such care and expertise into the kit and somehow managing to pack it in such a way that it made it here in perfect condition, plus wading through the international red tape etc.
