I'll have a guitar pick. One of the small, green, oval Tortex ones.
Sorry, all I have are Dunlop .60's. Same pics for 30 years. Also I only have D'Adarrio extra lite strings like I've used just as long. (wink)

Don't feed them...they will only get more brazen!
You are a clever one, aren't you?I have a solution. MY Keyboard has percussion sounds. If the keyboard player is going to be so quick to offer up percussion, let the person play it on his keys. See how the keyboard guy feels when all his presets are changed.

And that's perfectly fine if you don't want to play at the subsequent weddings of his other two daughters. There are a bunch of DJ's sitting in the wings just waiting for bands to lose their shit over such trivial matters. I'll happily continue this conversation in the "Where did all the good gigs go?" thread.

Never trusted keyboard players mesen, am 40 now and started playing in bands at 15. Only had 1 keyboard player in that time, and that was enough.

They asked me if he could use my kit and I said yes if I could use his girlfriend because it amounts to the same thing!
Wow. Seriously? That's borderline sociopathic.
I'm sure there are other solutions that don't involve being an asshole to customers or guests.
Some of you self righteous we always share our kit types should spend a year doing weddings and functions. Might open your eyes a bit!
Don't do weddings do you? Let me explain how the gig booking works.
Wow. Seriously? That's borderline sociopathic.
What's next? Pulling out a gun on anyone who goes within 1 meter of your kit?
Here's an idea: don't bring gear that you can't replace to a gig. Add a clause in your contract that specifies that the client will pay for any damaged gear due to accidents or misuse that can be attributed to anyone who's not part of the band, or hire some kind of insurance and add the cost of the insurance to the band's fee. I'm sure there are other solutions that don't involve being an asshole to customers or guests.
