Always be nice to the sound tech and venue crew. Arrive earlier than the rest of the band for easier stage setup Mick

Always have a look at some of the cheaper options for China cymbals Sabian 20" B8 Pro China (there was also an 18" version) Thinnest Chinese cymbal I own Mick

3" diameter difference will work, it just depends on your Small tom bracket size/FT leg brackets. For mine it was 4" apart to allow room for a fleece blanket liner between each. 10"x8",14"x12",18"x14" A 12" deep drum will nest inside a 14" deep outer drum. So a 2" difference there. Also if you...

For a second I thought that was a Renault Twizy... Mick

Apologies for the repeat photos. Gigged this again last night. 1 trip load-in and out. 1.6mm hoops and small lugs will help cut down on the weight (10"x8",14"x12",18"x14" in a Fibre case - 32 pounds) Mick

With age the frequency range of your hearing reduces so most adults upper limit is around 18Khz. Yes with Nyquist the upper limit on CDs is 20,050hz. T The difference between CD players is the design of the upper frequency audio filter, as a poor design may cause harmonics in the audible audio...

Still prefer Forums to FB groups. (late 50s so old numerically if not mentally....) The search function available on forums has been a great help. On FB the same questions get asked every few days.... Mick

Tractor seat for me. I store the throne top in a 16" Bodhran bag Mick

And each additional clamp on a round bar, adds more weight. Used to use a Gibraltar rack but if I was doing it again i'd go with a curved Pearl Icon rack. Mick

Orange Sparkle drums. At the time I was placing the original order my thoughts were Purple Sparkle or Yellow Sparkle. Glad I went with the Orange in the end. Mick

No shorts or sandals on a gig. (Its just a terrible image to portray) Jeans/Trousers - Plain Black t-shirt or dark shirt. T shirt under a shirt helps catch the perspiration. Mick

Dave on a Hip Gig Mick

35lbs in a LeBlond Fibre case. I have Mini Beavertail lugs on mine, but small Cube lugs may shave another 1-2 lb off? Mick

Gary Noonan (UK Drum Builder) 10x8, 14x12 FT, 18x14 BD (Mahogany /Poplar with 1.6mm hoops) Less weight with a big sound. 1 trip load in - Extra bag on top of the hand cart is for a Bodhran/Shakers Cheers Mick

Mike Snyder (previously R&D at ATV and Roland) is involved with this Looking forward to seeing the results Mick

I agree, let the sub play. There'll be a next time you might need their help, or they need yours. Music is a long game. Mick

Its not strict tempo there but you could think of it as 4 bars of 4/4, with the last 4/4 run up, as the tempo guide for the 3/4 chorus. Always a fun song to play, as that "fortunately" section can be stretched out. Mick

One of my favourite songs to play. 4/4 (Verse) 3/4 (Chorus) and 2 different tempos. Mick

Thankyou - Keller Mahogany/Poplar shells (Wax Finish), no re-rings. (Just the reinforcing ring at the join.) - 10x8,14x12 ft,18x14 BD The top case on the cart is for a Bodhran/Small Percussion. So in reality, just for the drumkit, it would be 1 less in height. Bass case is approx. 35lbs...

Looks great. I'm almost there at 10,14,18BD (Nesting) to do the taxi test. Mick
