"Whoever dies w the most toys, wins!"
That'd be TB.
He needs an entire road crew just for himself...
To me, a kit of this size becomes borderline on the absurd...but I "aints" going to tell TB that... [img]wink.gif[/img]
Vin & Dave could tear it up on a basic kit if they have to...in fact, VC basically does [5-6 pc kit, 5-6 cym, hats]...I'm sure TB could also...but he loves his differing sounds & textures...he loves his toys!
[Can you say], "I think cartage on this one is gonna be a muther"...better pull out the ole' wallet/cred card...
& this has taught me a lesson...never try to get a job as TB's tech...

Appearently he has four techs (or something like that) [img]cool.gif[/img]
Man, that thing just screams 1980's too me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
If he wants to play a kit that big, then more power too him! I'd love to see some video of him playing that thing.

Go to Vic Firth .com to see video........I think that is rediculous
Only one tech. His tech has a masters degree in music (and probably needs it to tune all those drums properly!). Usually, though, people help the tech set up at the clinics and whatnot. I saw TB when he just started using this new expanded set that he has been on for less than a year. He said he wasn't too comfortable with it yet and apologized. None were needed, though; he tore it up.
I would think a degree in mech eng would be more appropriate than a MA in music considering the complexity of that beast.
Those shots were taken by Narcyz (a former student of mine-and good speed metal player) at our Drum Pad clinic earlier this month. The drums were set-up by his tech, Victor Salazar our store's manager (& the drummer from Big Electric-who opened for PX a month ago) and Terry helped too. The entire kit was struck by the tech and Vic, in about 1/2 - 3/4 hour, because they had an open mike night starting after our clinic.
You'll all be very surprised to learn that Terry's are the easiest clinics we've ever put on. I'm not kidding!

Brad,
Why was it one of the easiest?
I hear that Terry is very articulate
and organized.

I have a great photo of Terry's new kit taken from behind the kit. Is there any way I can add this photo with my reply ?
This photo was taken last July when Terry was in Montreal.
I saw him play it a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful experience. Some of the sounds he created were strange and beautiful. If you get a chance to see him do his solo thing, GO!
Peter,
Sorry it took so long to respond. It's the easiest because, he brings his drums - we don't have to buy his kit. That may seem obvious, but we have to have the kit or a similar one for artist clinics. Mangini would probably play on a 5 pc. Export, but why do that to him? Sometimes we spend $5 + K on the kit (Portnoy, for example) and then have to either sell whole, or divide it into smaller kits. We do normally do all the set up, and have extra merchandise from the store on display and for sale.
Terry brings a tech (who does a lot of the work) Terry actually helps with the set up (no one else does), he doesn't require lots of sound gear (though we provide it), brings his merchandise and he's a big draw. All in all, he's easier than anyone else of the 50 or so drummers we've had.
