Default Tunnels Backline
Hello.
Seeing as I'm due to be playing The Tunnels on the 14th January, I thought it'd be wise to ask if anyone knows here what sort of backline they have in terms of the drums?

Any info would be appreciated, ta.

They have a house kit, I think (could be wrong) they prefer you to use your own pedals, cymbals.

yup basic house kit. As Hog Said best idea to take your own cymbols etc if you want it to sound right.

the bass amp is a carlsbro combo with a 15" speaker. i had troubles getting it as loud as i wanted, though that could have been my bass (it's active... though i thought the battery was pretty recent...).

take your own cymbol stands the ones they have there will damage your cymbols as they are in poor condition, and your own stool, again the one there isnt in great nick.

probably best all round to take your own Amps and shit rather than rely on the venue's if you really want to get a particular sound

Looks like I've got a fair bit of stuff to take with me then.

Stool, stands, pedal, cymbals, myself.

What about a snare and stand?

If not taking stands be sure to take sleeves felts and wing-screws. There are rarely any at venues and your cymbals could seriously suffer if you don't use them.
