This is lovely stuff. I remember you being really excited about shooting the video and it's turned out exactly how you described!
A massive thanks to Yolanda for agreeing to do this
Are you looking for just a head? Or do you want a cab as well? I've been seriously tempted by the Ampeg Portaflex series of late (not that I can afford any new bass gear). Class D, light but distinctively Ampeg if you're into that sort of thing.

Dat P-Bass tone...
I wish we had a couple of decent bass shops closer to me (i.e. not central London)... then I could go and have a proper look too!
You know what would be great to hear in a future video? Let the drummers rotate, so that we hear how the same drumkit sounds when a different drummer plays it !

In theory I like this because each player will pull something different from each kit, though in terms of overall effect it might distract from the drums themselves by inviting more focus on the players. I could be wrong, just a thought.
Thanks Larry If you got something out of it, it was worth doing.I really, really got a lot out of this. You guys have created an original concept with these videos, and the lamp motif is just classic.
Ha, yes. They're too used to their weak bass drums with flappy tuning I just want to shout "crank the redo"!Andy, I remember that walnut kit turning more than a few heads in Manchester. The first time you got it out of the case and thumped it, pretty much everyone looked up to see what had just happened. .
She's very happy with it, although she wasn't especially pleased with it in that room. Apparently, it's the first time she hasn't been happy with it.At the risk of going off-topic:
What did Yolanda think of the Rumble-500?

I'm going with Grea's concern here my Alpine friend, although I can see it working in the right context.In theory I like this because each player will pull something different from each kit, though in terms of overall effect it might distract from the drums themselves by inviting more focus on the players.

It would be cheaper to ship you over here - cargo, of courseI agree. You should send me all three kits, and I'll rotate among them. Then we can try them without the bottom heads too
hm, couldn't one as well say the three drummers already distract from the drum sound in an equalI'm going with Grea's concern here my Alpine friend, although I can see it working in the right context.
Agreed, now I think about it. We won't be recording again for a while, but I'll have to dream up something to top this video = not easyhm, couldn't one as well say the three drummers already distract from the drum sound in an equal
manner because the setting is kind of "battle" like, where you're always thinking what the next drummer
is going to be playing?
Thank YouVery interesting endeavor. Some serious talent all around. Yolanda? WOW.
Duncan, that is such an accurate & eloquently expressed appraisal of Yolanda. Such a lady, & someone who puts everyone at ease. Michele Drees is cast from the same metal. Total professionalism delivered with human sensitivity & sheer class. These girls have travelled every aspect & level of the business, & it shows in their approach. Getting good gigs is so much more than being a good player, but you need to be that too, & more.She's not just a great bass player but a kind, gentle, gracious and generous human being. I met her briefly a while back and she epitomises professionalism and grace.

Do you actually own a concert tom kit? Oh, I forgot, there's always tomorrow eh!
