i use

8" 10" 12" 14" 22"

Gretsch Renown Maple Series, With Gibralter Hardware. All Floating Toms.

Sabian HHX Evolution 16", Sabian Pro Hi-Hats, Sabian pro Crash 16" Sabian B8 Ride Cymbal. Zildjian Splash.

Iron Cobra Double Pedal, Twin Chained, Janus 2 Legged Hi-Hat Stand, Pearl Roadtser Throne.

I had a go a Gretsch Broadcaster kit I think it was. It was the bee's knee's. Since then I've always wanted a Gretsch kit until i stopped taking the drums as seriously as say the guitar. I ended up with a little Ludwig 5-Piece Combo kit which has served me well through the years.

I'm not sure I've been playing long enough to have a real style. I've written some songs which came out quite indie sounding, but then when I'm playing the guitar usually I like to play things like Clapton and old rock - so mainly blues/rock.

I really lack music theory though, and I'm trying to learn some.. and succeeding, just very slowly

Gretsch are solid as a rock, and very high quality.

On piano, mostly classical and blues.

On guitar, check some of the songs from the band link in my sig, probably 70's/80's rock I guess I'd describe it.

Also do a bit of dance stuff on my PC in Reason.

The band stuff is what I concentrate on mostly though.

I play a mean bit of air guitar in the style of an embarrasing parent drunk at a wedding

That's where my talent ends.

On the keys I mostly play classical stuff, though I do play all sorts, and I had a small band going just covering stuff like Rainbow, Squeeze and all sorts haha

Mostly play metal now, guitar and keys.

Predominantly Thrash/Grind, with the inclusion of Blues/Hard Rock & Death Metal if we get bored.

Neoni · 2 May 2006 at 00:03

my god that setup is so bad for me! whats with the distance between hi-hat pedal and double pedal, thats madness.

Yeah, i am not one for messing with the hats movement, i usually adjust the hats at the start of a track. Having said that i have two hats; RUDE's and Innovations and have one closed and one open at gigs. I've also got a two legged Iron Cobra hi-stand coming which will allow me to have the pedals attached to the pedals with a seperate hardware attachment. At the moment i can't seem to get them much closer.

pretty much the same without the tilting of the hat at the top.

Kaiju · 2 May 2006 at 00:59

Uhhhm, well done.

Neoni · 2 May 2006 at 01:03

what is the point in the title system of the hats, i do not know. all cymbals should be flat, no tilts on any of them, same with toms and snares

melchy · 2 May 2006 at 09:50

My style of playing the keyboard is pretty much my own. Its generally described by everyone that has heard it as terrible :eek:

Still im not one to let that or my obvious lack of talent stop me

My guitar playing is even worse ...
