What kind of turtle. I've taken care of a bunch in a previous life.

Powered rack for my Sphere EQs and two additional Sphere EQs (for a total of five).

Paiste Signature 17" fast crash
Paiste Formula 602 20" thin crash
Paiste Formula 602 20" paperthin (4 rivets)
Crown 202 power amp to replace my screwed-up Hafler (looking for Bryston 3B or 4B as long-term solution)
A couple new Yamaha cymbal stands
Still enjoying my relatively new (to me) GML 8900 limiter

How come nobody ever posts about gear they just got rid of? I just unloaded this crappy old premier drum set on InverseRoom....

too bad for him he wouldn't take the cat. Manx cats are reknowned for their unique acoustic properties.

:wink:

On the other hand, I did just score an ART FX-1 at a church rummage sale. And a pair of Infinity 2000.1 speakers.

The hardest part was scraping off the cat

The sparkly turquoise is blinding, it's really, really nice.

Hey Andy, I know that's a 14" floor tom, but the cat still looks freaking enormous. Is he?

Lately I've gone a little nuts on Ebay, at least for myself. In the last month I've gotten:

Symetrix 501 Comp/Limiter
Blue Mouse
Pork Pie Maple Snare Vented

In the mail:

Telefunken TD300 - it could be crappy, but for $50 I thought the risk was worth it.


By the way...the mouse, it seems to be pretty picky with stuff. I think it sounds amazing on room drums with a Pro VLA or the 501, but no so great on my vocals. Maybe I need to call my friend and ask him to lend me his tube Millennia M-2A. :lol:

Stubbs is a larger-than-life kinda cat, but physically speaking he's quite small. He does have a way of looming, though, for lack of a better word.

And, now he's a celebrity!

A 1976 Norton Commando.

Another UA 2108 pre.

I'd like to say I bought a Valley Dynamite comp, but I'm still looking for one (black with white script lettering).
I know enough to know that I don't know what I am doing.

Inverseroom -- nice kit! In keeping with the drum thing, I just purchased this today -- a bang around Tama kit for $150:

It definitely needs new heads. The front kick head is gone and even a couple of mounting brackets are gone, but for $150 I couldn't expect much more. Even came with a sabian high hat and beat up crash. Oh yeah, and it came with a throne too.

Yah, nice kits there DryCountry and weatherbox! I esp. like the maple hoops on weatherbox's kick there....I'm thinking about doing the same thing...

Hey dry, is the new Tulsa Drone out yet? The Mrs. has a birthday coming up...

its pretty classy. It's an older USA made kit, and though small, packs a mean punch. I can't wait to record someone who can actually play them, because I'm awful. I had a bunch of snares and no kit to go with them...

I bet maple on that turquoise would be blindingly cool. What size is that kick?

22. Yours looks smaller, eh?

You should see eskimo's kick! It's like a freaking bay window.
