Very sorry to bring up the Crasher debate again, but to elaborate on this quote: Doms crasher might not be 11" or 15" because it isn't a Rhythmtech Crasher, at least not the ones that are available to the public - its a totally different design. Im not too sure of the history of this instrument, but there were some copyright issues and stuff from the Engelhart design (which I think was the original) and the RTech one and a few others too. Interestingly when I picked up my 15" Rtech crasher at the drum shop, it had a tag on it with the price and 'Engelhart model' written underneath, so I think RTech now have the patent on making Pete Engelhart crashers, but there are other more traditional ones out there - like the ones Dom seems to use.

Some cymbal companies definately take old ones back, but I dont think theres a 'public collection' type thing, which could be handy. I know Sabian were taking in old cymbals at their stall at download this year, but obviously most the people taking advantage of that were endorsees anyway, or otherwise rich enough to be irrelevant!

I know Adam, its ridiculous. + the police couldn't do it personally because of the 7 hour time span when the crime could've taken place, being too long. I can understand not having the manpower for trawling through several days of footage; but just overnight footage??! To answer the_man, hopefully insurance should cover just about everything, minus paying excess etc, but as usual its a lengthy, slow process - getting some quotes now. Could have been worse of course: they chose to leave about 5 grands worth of premier genister, my laptop, loads a cymbals/percussion and a treeworks mark tree!!!

Well I was renting this car parking space on a small lot in a posh complex of flats in the city centre. It seemed to be fairly secure, with keycode access, electric shutter gates etc... Id just moved into a flat myself about 15mins walk away and hadn't got storage anywhere yet, so I occassionally left my gear in the car overnight in this car park after gigs and stuff. Seems though that there have been several incidents of late at this place, either people from the flats doing it, or more likely someone has the code or has just been let in by someone else. Fairly sure then it was just opportunist as the stuff was pretty much on display. Certainly the last time I do that, no matter how safe the place seems!! There was CCTV covering the car at the time, but its proving impossible to find anyone who is 'qualified' to download and look at the footage!!

Some arsehole smashed up my 4x4 whilst it was in a locked up private garage. They took the SPDS flightcase with the sampler, headphones, triggers etc inside. They also took my iron cobra and box and a large flightcase with my mixing desk, kd-7 and drum dial in it. oh and also my stick bag.
-
I had my SPDS stolen the other day - oh the anguish.
-
Oh ok, just presumed that because Dom only has about 3 electric sounds he would be using a small module and have no need for the sampler. I thought morgan would be in charge of the spds, as there surely must be a patch change half way through starlight to switch the handclaps off - or is dom triggering them from the rim and not the snare??
-
Question for Adam... Â Adam on your site where did you get the information from about the SPDS? Only interested cause ive never seen him use one and there never seems to be one around his kit. Also when you talk about triggers, are you suggesting Dom triggers backing tracks from the floor tom rim? or have i read it wrong? I always presumed Morgan is now in charge of tracks, + triggering from the rims seems very impractical...
-
prefer what guys??
-
anyone see Isle of W fest? Have they ditched the backing track/funny noises on SBH? the snare sample is still being triggered but the floor tom rim shaker sound seems to have replaced by morgan playing a cabasa! - random...
-
lol no fraid not: im gonna try find a boom arm i dont need and cut off the screw bit of the cymbal mount - should work i think... they do have a stupid design though........your dad should patent something!!
-
BEWARE!! the mount on the rhythmtech crasher lies directly below and underneath the metallic strips: therefore not ideal for mounting on ordinary cymbal stands unless you hacksaw a bit of the metal rod off, so if the bolt comes loose you dont get the cymbal mount rod ploughing into the playing strips. Ive just got a crasher and not used it yet so gonna try and find some special mounting device, + of course see how it actually works on an ordinary stand. EDIT: it looks from this pic that part of an ordinary stand has indeed been cut off http://www.soundaffects.net/photos/Muse/muse02.jpg

Has anyone noticed that in the gallery on the starlight dvd on the drum mixdown: it bares no relation to what Dom plays on the record or what he does live, totally different beat.....whats going on there???
-
Anyone know for certain what size Ribbon crasher Dom uses??? Anyone else got one?? they worth it??
