Your lastest musical-instrument acquisitions/cost

[blastman]

Not sure if a thread exists already on the GEAR WANKS section so what the heck Richard Speck...

While on holiday in Auck's I decided to check out MUSIC WORKS on Hobson. Scored a few things a few days ago and will probably score a few things before I leave next weekend (some Paiste RUDE cymbals maybe???)

Tama X-Hat ($129): this will be the second x-hat I've brought so I can turn 2 10" splash cymbals into a set of hi-hats.


Got this dvd since it's one of my favourite drummers of all time. ($48)

Technically this isn't a musical instrument but I consider it a part of my musical developement on the instrument so...

Got a massive erection seeing all the cool gears in one shop that I didn't realise were even in the country. A pity about the prices with the shit dollar at the moment. My friend just got back from Toronto and spewed his guts out over how much instruments cost in NZ.

[Dick Dynamite]

I bought some sweet performance enhancers.



Actually very important part of playing rockabilly slap, loosens the fingers, dulls the pain. Heh.

16" Sabian marching cymbals (my new hi-hats...)
20" Paiste 2oo2 Crash

please tell me you use a 16" floor for your one rack tom. please.

[Sasquatch]

hopefully before the end of the year my kit will be:

14x10 racktom
24x18 kick
18x16 floor tom
14x8 snare (i built myself one of these with a 10ply maple shell a couple years ago. sounds awesome.)


with absurdly big cymbals.

[slaughter]

hopefully before the end of the year my kit will be:

16x10 racktom
28x18 kick
18x16 floor tom
14x8 snare (i built myself one of these with a 10ply maple shell a couple years ago. sounds awesome.)


with absurdly big cymbals.

fixed.

[Sasquatch]

16x10 would sound and look like butts. plus the pitch interval between that and an 18" would be too negligible to get a decent spectrum of sounds into fills/grooves. 14 + 18 is a winning combo.

[slaughter]

well get a 20" floor then poofter.

[dclxvi]

john, you can't win.

Fucking score man!!! Is that a DW double-pedal??? What series?

How are you liking the shallow-depth toms??? I haven't had a go on one but like the idea that you can get the toms really low (my preference).

That is so awesome bro! only a real man like you could handle a kit as ridiculous as that. You got a bass drum sorted? might be able to sort you out with a 24x16 starclassic bubinga/birch for reeeeeal cheap if you want it, not 100% sure yet tho, and it would be in white silk finish.


Im loving the hyperdrive kits as well, very cool for anything loud and aggressive, and awesome if you like you toms low and flat.

[Sasquatch]

ahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

nah, no bass drum sorted. could well be interested in that B/B though...

[your fucking funeral]

yeah i am really digging the shallow toms as i like to sit a bit lower and have them almost flat, which i couldnt really do with my stage custom kit. 22x20 kick drum is pretty chur too, would love to hear it in live gig situation. And those are dw 5000 quite happy with my set up i got going for now!

Latest-peavey triumph 60w tube amp,Charvel 475 deluxe.....


waiting on the postman......

[Green Bastard]

Whats that charvel like? I really like the old single humbucker superstrats, but dont know much about the different models

I havent bought any gear for ages, last thing was a delay pedal or my RG550 i think

[imperiumdiabolus]

dunno,it's still in transit.the 475 was the model below the 650xl(NT) so i figure it will be pretty deece.got horrid H-S-S emg's in it atm so that will be the first thing to be replaced.

[Cosmo Kramer]

Do you know if they are EMG's or not? might be the jackson ones...unless you know they are EMG's

they came alot with the jackson ones

are they Jackson ones?

Charvels are sweet

[imperiumdiabolus]

no they are emg's-the charvel/jackson ones had big logo's all over 'em.And i don't recall seeing any white ones....should be sweet,i've had a craving for one of these for years.Jst glad i got this cheap and local as the "bay is the only other option.

[Green Bastard]

Was it that MIJ pink one on trademe last week? saw that for cheap as.

[imperiumdiabolus]
