Tama are a good solid brand like. Their Iron Cobra pedals are really good. I remeber playing them a few times. And the Iain Paice snare is one I really want lol! I love his playing...

I like it. I have had the kit 26 years now and it still sounds great. The new Evans G1/G2 heads rejuvinated it recently. The Ian Paice snare I got from Rhythm Base in Glasgow. Great shop with very helpful and knowledgable staff. Went looking for a maple snare told them the sound I was after (fat rock sound) and they advised the Ian Paice. Love at first strike and a good price too.

My kit is;

Tama Superstar (1984 model). The wood is birch and is a cherry red stain.

Hi just PM'd you about a pedal

We are a band doing 70's and 80's rock covers (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple, Free, Aerosmith etc). We have been together for a couple of months and are working on some songs with a view to adding more to the list. The intent is to get a decent set list together and do some gigs.

The band at the moment consists of a singer, guitarist and drummer. We really need a bass player to anchor the band and fill out the sound. We are serious, but also want the band to be fun to play in. Done the whole ego thing years ago and don't want to go back there. We are currently rehearsing once a week, but will step this up when we get a full line up.

If you fancy playing some good old rock covers PM me.

Got anything else you want to sell. Let me know and I would be happy to start a thread for you!!!!!!

Anyway as everyone knows you can't beat the unique sound of a Zildjian compared to the mass produced Paiste.

Zapatista I still have the cymbal if you are still interested.

Recently formed outfit (guitarist, vocalist and drummer) currently in need of a bass guitarist to join us doing covers of some good old classic / heavy rock songs....

To-date we've been working on a preliminary set list to get it together as a band, which has been working out pretty well. Now we need a bass guitarist to get us properly off the ground!

Here are some covers we have been working on - but it's by no means fixed.......

Free - Wishing Well

Whitesnake - Fool For Your Lovin

Thin Lizzy - Don't Believe a Word

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever

Montrose - I Got The Fire

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water

ZZ Top - Gimme All your Lovin

Nothing too serious. The whole has to fun and enjoyable, but we do hope to gig in the future.

Fancy giving it a go?

Ok shall I bring along with the snare on Friday?

Zildjian 20" Ping ride still looking for a new home.

Good stuff. Sounds like a plan.

Tank - Here you go. This is the only photo I have with me (offshore at the moment). I have a better one at home and can post that tomorrow when I get back. I brought the drum in 1989, but stopped playing in '96 and the snare has only been used a couple of times since then. Its in excellent condition.

Waiting until the end of the month is not a problem. I have a picture of the snare as set up with my kit that I could post, if I could figure how to do it. Any ideas?

Tama Imperial Star snare drum in excellent condition.

14" x 5 1/2" Birch shell, black lacquer finish, chrome hardware.

Lovely drum, only selling it as I now use a metal snare.

100 ono.

That's the one. Memory is not what it was.

I saw them at the Kilburn Forum in London supporting Robert Plant in '88. What a great night that was. I agree with the others Francis Dunnery is an excellent guitar player and the rest of the band were no slouches either. They have reformed recently without Frances. I haven't heard their new album, but I will have to check them out again.

I have a Zildjian 'A' 20" Ride cymbal (made around 1982, that's when I purchased it new). It's in perfect condition apart from the logo's that are a bit faded due to the occasional polish over the intervening years.

Anyone interested?

Thanks guys. I have checked them out and think I will have to take a trip to Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Looking for some more help. As I haven't brought any new drums for long time, can anyone recommend a good shop to go to and try out snare drums? Doesn't have to be local.

Thanks guys this is very helpful, but I think the Radio King is slightly out of the budget range.

I am looking to purchase a new snare and trying to wade my way through the countless option available. I play rock music and I am looking for a snare with a nice fat sound that will cut through.

I currently have a Tama 14 x 5 1/2 birch snare, but find it too bright with too much over ring. I have tried all head and tuning options and have given up trying to get a nice fat sound out it.

I am looking to get some info on others use to narrow my search in finding a snare that will produce a nice warm fat sound, but still cut through.

Any suggestions greatly appriciated.
