BLOG - WHAT'S GOING ON?

Now I have finished flying around the countryside in a rather nice Lamborghini Murcielago, I can get back to the drums and start work on my A to E kit.

I want to have the option to use the new Gretsch Catalina kit in either Acoustic or Electronic formats, and perhaps combine both at times.

I am currently waiting for some mesh heads having located 2 14" Roland (one as part of the conversion kit) and will try out the recommended Hart Magnum for the kick.

Initially, I am going to use triggers for the kit combined with my Smartrigger cymbals, although once I have the configuration of the kit how I want it, I plan to add some well known internal triggers.

Gretsch Acoustic To Electronic

Whilst I wait for the remaining heads, for the three drums that I have already switched to mesh, I have left the bottom mylar heads on and found I get a muted, but rather nice acoustic sound.

Here is the kit in early stages of construction / conversion with naturally more updates to follow.
