7 piece (?) Slingerland drum kit that he's had since he was a kid and that he's very proud of..

As well as various pieces of recording and PA gear we use when the need arises..

[Adam Barkley]

[Microbass]

Trace GP12SMX 280W head
Trace 2x10 + 15 cabs.

Stephen:

My PA:

Carlsboro cobra head - not bad. Does the job for vocals and handles 2 ohms nicely.

No need for our own PA really. Very few venues don't have one.

[addylewis]

I'll see what I remember....

drummer (used to be the above-mentioned keyboard player):

drumkit
cheap d-112 copy (on loan from me)
superlux studio condensor (on loan from me)

another sm 58 (on loan from singer)

2x 600-watt speakers
400-watt power amp (for drums - singers amp)
2x double-12-inch 400-watt subs (again, singers)

should I pull half my stuff from our gear list? - if anything happens to that desk or those mics then i've got nothing...

and a bunch of other stuff that I am forgetting about


All hauled (with the exception of guitars and basses), in a 16' tandem axle enclosed trailer.

I have a couple of different projects going, but the only variable in them is in the guitar players. The drums, bass, and PA remain the same in all of them.
