yeah i am nuts :;
Here's my old 6 pc dark-red Remo kit that I bought at Midwest Percussion back in '94. The 8" new Mapex was in these pics, too...
So finally I picked up the entire new Mapex kit. I'll be selling the Remo kit in a short while, but it's fun to put them both together (as much as non-compatible mounts allow) and play much like my old 1980's/early 90's huge double bass kit. I'll place the 12" Remo (not shown in the photo below - nor is the 10" Mapex) on the rack to have 3 toms up front.
After warming up, I nailed Tom Sawyer save for a single note.
These Mapex toms really have a throaty punch that the Remo's never had. I like 'em!

Here is a picture of me from 1986, playing my Japanese made Fender Squier Stratocaster (I'm the one on the left in the Iron Maiden t-shirt)
I've still got this guitar, in fact I just started playing it again after more than ten years away from it! I'm having an absolute blast relearning all my old favorite Metallica tunes! It's amazing how quickly it all comes back to you once you figure out the first note.
I've also got a Peavey Backstage Plus 35 watt amp and I've got my trusty Boss "Heavy Metal" distortion pedal.
Eventually I'd like to get another guitar though, this one doesn't really have the right sound for playing heavy metal, it sounds too tinny. Plus it's a heavy tank too, I'd love to get something a lot lighter.

Our son played bass with a band in T.O. called "Warpaint". We went to see them at 'The Spectrum' in Scarborough once.
The old Peavey 18/20 speaker may still be in the basement ...

I don't play myself but I put some of my electronics knowledge to use helping him refurb some old Telefunken microphone pre-amps for his rack.
We added switchable phantom power and a gain control to each module ... nice units.

Here's my gear. I don't play in any bands, but I guess I'm ready if it ever happens.
Rickenbacker 330:
Mexican Telecaster. I've since replaced the bridge with a left-hand model, which angles the pickup the other way. I HIGHLY recommend the mod:
My dad and I built a ~10 watt tube amp. Sounds great, especially after I tweaked it with a bright switch and adjustible negative feedback.
