I've recently finished modifying my turntables. I thought I'd show you all.

Don't watch the photography skills, my camera is pony. The set up is a work in progress, and should be completed in a week or two.

The last thing I did was to swap the old yellow LEDs for red, which look infinately better and replace both tonearms. I was going to do a 'how to' but quite honestly it so much effort I couldnt be bothered.

Here is a small update on my cymbal set up - got my 12" splash in the picture and also my recently acquired 18" AAX Chinese. Gave them a bit of treatment with some Groove Juice and this is how they came out

14" AAX Stage Hats
16" AAX Stage Crash
18" AAX Chinese
18" HHX Xplosion Crash

Just added this to go with my Soundcraft and 2x Studiomaster mixing desks -

Also bought a Samson bass drum mic for £50 but I can take it back if it doesn't do the business tonight.

Tama Iron Cobra Power Glide double pedal; won it on an auction for £180 inc postage. As you can see it has a few scratches etc but plays like a dream.
Very happy :)[/QUOTE]

Stu (ex drummer of eternal lord) swears by those. He practically made our drummer by a set after his old pearl set kept falling apart :p

He also uses the same china as you too! You play a lot of metal by any chance? :D

Unfortunately, I don't play a great deal at all at the moment

I live in Newton Abbot but go to Bristol every weekend, so it makes it very difficult being commited to a band with all the travelling. Although in about 4 weeks i'll be moving to Bristol to live so i'll be able to join a band properly, which excites me greatly as i'll be able to play this beauty more often:

It's a Rockstar Custom in Custom Mahogany. It's a line which has been discontined for a good few years now, the Superstar Custom has replaced it.

Has served me well though, have not long put all new Remo heads on and sounds really good

Yeah tell me about it! Just atm I hardly play it due to travelling commitments at the weekends; but I'm moving to Bristol in a couple of weeks and I'm definitely going to join a band and get playing reguarly again

really really miss it

when I play more yes my skins will get replaced more often!!

Maccy, have any pics of your kit in this thread?

EDIT: Yes you have, lol. Is it Amber Fade or something like that? It's a lovely finish

Maccy · 27 Apr 2009 at 11:48

Yup it's Amber Fade, I'm considering selling up and getting a new kit though. Decisions!
