Not sure of the sizes vs the black kit I'm used to seeing you play but that DW kit just looks bigger for some reason

Mostly the same as the Slingerland
The same 22”, 13” & 16” but with an extra 14“ Floor Tom, so one extra drum.
I left the 12” and 24” that I also have at home, but I was tempted to go for even more excess just to see my bandmates reaction

Busy weekend with three outdoor gigs and back on the Slingerland due to the weather (rains a lot on bank holiday weekends over in England )
Fridays gig, a small family ’sparkly‘ themed festival gig with the wobbliest ever stage. Thought my stands were going to tip over at one point.
It rained during our set
Saturdays gig, a pub garden beer and cider festival. First photo is a young girl we got up to sing backing vocals as she was bouncing along all gig, she had a great time.
The second is my daughter at her first proper gig as all my family came. She loved it, and I loved seeing her dancing around with an inflatable guitar. She wants to come to all my gigs now and probably my favourite ever gig due to her being there.
It rained during our set
Sundays gig, a festival in the garden of a pub in the Forest of Dean. Was ok, but we were all tired by that point from 3x2+ hour gigs in a row. Plus, someone swiped my car in the car park, causing a small dent. Not the best way to end the weekend but what can you do.
It rained during our set
Great weekend but another negative?, I turned 40 on Friday and my bandmates announced it to each audience and sang Happy Birthday every single gig this weekend, knowing it would embarrass me. Thankfully a drum towel over my face each time worked wonders.
Great weekend, topped off by some drinks in town last night as a band but very much enjoying a rest at home with my daughter today, plus not having to load / unload the car for a week or two.

An unknown person was kind enough to capture and forward this one to us. Something about this pic I've always liked. I was told by more than a few people that night that one of the previous drummers of the Scorpions was there. Just remembered my vocalist grabbed a pic of the two of them that night. I guess he really was.

This was earlier today at a local music festival. They severely overbooked, 21 bands for 9 hours with 2 stages, so everyone's set got cut extremely short. With that I decided to just go small and keep it simple.

What snare are you using for this gig? It looks 14x5 from this angle.

It does look much bigger than it is, that actually is a pearl 12x5 "firecracker" snare drum. The bass drum is 16" and the hi hats are 12" so it makes the snare look 'normal sized' in relation to everything else.

That's a Yamaha MG102C 8-channel powered mixer that I use as an in-ear monitor mixer. The IEMs (MeeAudio M6 Pros) are on the timbale. The red cable is the monitor feed going in.

Deluxe setup!

To be honest, the mixer was $100 when I got it and the M6 Pros are $50. It's probably one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get into IEMs. There's 2-channel compact mixers that sell for even less.Deluxe setup!

True, but *you* are in control of your monitor loudness. There's been gigs (much like your fair/festival) where we worked on levels for 5 minutes and the monitor guy said, "Just signal me if you want a change." Well then, please at least look at me when I need your help... oh dear, I'm gonna suffer the entire gig with a keyboard 12 dB louder than anything else.
