That rocks!!

But holy hell- $150 for an 8" splash!!! That's why I play Zildjians....

[animal]

Nice!!!!

[Rusty James]

Vey nice! I didn't think Tama made those longer, low pitched octobans anymore? I concur Spec A, that's why I play Zildjian cymbals too!

[zilboy]

Cool! Is it the photo or do those drums look deeper than Stew's?

[DirtyMartini]

Soooo shiny.

I pledge allegiance to the kit of the United Krypton of Copelandia
and to the music for which it plays. One forum under Stewart, unified with adoration and respect for thee.

Good gawd dayam...Starclassics in bubinga...<collapses> and geeb the lil cymbal is spensive surely, but the larger ones seem pretty on par with comparable lines of Zildjians...a sweet ride runs 250 (Zildjian A Custom series) and the A Custom Crash 18 is 220ish (my dream Zild setup would be the Sweet ride and hats, with A custom crashes...I tell my hubby he's lucky I am not into jewelry, diamonds, or anything designer...but this is the weakness right here...ok that and Police concerts, which I would never imagined seeing!)...

Plus those prices for the Paistes are not really super great...I've seen those Signature Full crashes for a bit over 200ish and 250ish respectively for the 16 and 18, if I'm not on memory-crack...But cymbals are all about the sound you like, anyhows

I go pretend cymbal shopping like almost every day <grin> and pretend it will remain until like at least the winter holidays/2008 after all these shows! My latest way to self-torture is to watch 602s auctions on ebay and see how much they go for <giggle>...

Thanks for the pic Skip...I love seeing the big guy's setups! PS do you love your new Stewart snare, or what?

I'm so glad you asked GinaSuperCat...
Love is an understatement! It's everything I've been looking for in a snare. It's AWESOME- I'm so happy you guys gave me that push needed to buy it. :D

Of course we wouldn't steer you wrong! You're among not only friends of Copelandia, but drummers too!

The kit is nice...and obviously a great idea....they could easily have got the blue sparkle and a police head made though.

Doesnt stewart use the starclassic maple tho?

I am sure tama still make the low pitch octobans.

I think we should have an offical and far too detailed update on what stewart will be using on this tour.......and it just occured to me i wonder if he will have all his footswitch controlled delays going on again...that would be so great.

oh yes....a detailed equipment update please.....surely a police tour is a big enough event........remember we are the hardcore copeland fans and need more info than we get on the tama and paiste sites.....we need details.

I was thinking about putting a new replica kit together with a view to maybe selling it ....but i thought the market for a detailed replica kit would be somewhat limited (and i have no space for yet another big drum kit)

blessed be the copeland drum nerds

(official detailed equipment update please....drums cymbals...electronics...percussion the lot!!)
