The hi hat is a pearl H200 two legged model and the kick pedal is a Big Dog pro double. I was lucky enough to be given the Big Dogs when I did a clinic sponsored by them and Sonor. I normally use a dbl Iron Cobra, and the Big Dig's are kept as spares, but when that shot was taken I was waiting for spare parts to arrive from Tama. I've also recently changed the heads to Evans G2 coated.

I love the Cobras and use them on stage etc but the Big Dogs are real nice too. They are smooth and easy to adjust. Only complaint would be with the beaters. Bit too big and clunky for me so I replaced them. Very good pedal and reasonably priced (for now). I also use a BD remote static hi hat and that's excellent too.

Sorry about that! I'll try again!
Lovely! Clean, uncluttered...looks like it would be a blast to play!
BTW, the third photo in your photobucket album (the shot showing you and your cymbals, taken from the hi-hat side) is classic.

Hey Py, was just checking out 'Budgie' on YouTube, (hat tip to AwfullDrummer). Is that the same band from the 70's? Are you an original member, and did you play on the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' back in the 70's? (I can't tell if that guy drumming with all the hair is you or not!)

Thanks for the comments guys.
17 Yes, it's the same band formed in 68. I joined in 74 and my first album was the bands fourth, Bandolier, released in 75. That is indeed me on the Whistle Test vid. Back then I had a thick mop of hair and a 28" waist. As your body gets older you gain some you loose some I guess.

The story of my life too! I gained in the waist and lost off the top! Congratulations on a great career with a great band!

How do you like your Free floating brass shell? How does it differ from the maple shelled one? Im curious...I play a maple shell free floating and was considering buying a brass shelled one to add to the kit. And am I ever jealous...that is one Beautiful Kit! Congrats!
