Right click > view image for full size, of course. Timpani mallets and quad mallets sound pretty awesome on a set. And the one stick with the top half covered in duct tape is for hitting cymbals, giving them a washing sound instead of a crashing sound. The duct tape on the hi-hat sticks the top and bottom cymbal together on one side, which gives the cymbal a cool, dead sound when you hit it open and stops it from ringing. When you hit it closed, it sounds like a regular hi-hat.

    ...What's up with that snare?

    ...What's up with that snare?
    It's four years old and the cheapest snare I could find (the entire set was just $500 dollars). The white paint chipped off in the center, and it's generally justed busted up to all shit.

    I have a Kaossilator Touchpad Synthesizer at the moment, but I'm thinking of getting a Mini-Kaoss Touchpad Effects Processor and a KP3 Touchpad Dynamic Effect Sampler - but only after I've got the Kaossilator down, and I can produce some good, dance worthy tunes with little effort.

    Sweet bass Sail, when I first saw the pill sticker I thought Akira.

    That's what it's supposed to be. Though some people have said it reminded them of Dr. Mario, which works too.

    My familial unit has a grand piano in our living room. I'm pretty sure we inherited it from my grandmother on my father's side.

    Yesterday I took my first plunge into guitardism. I got this Epiphone Les Paul Jr. off the wall at Guitar Center for $99. The action is perfect and it sounds and plays awesomely for such a cheap instrument. The finish is also very reflective, as you can see in the second pic.

    Put a sticker on it =P

    I also have a bunch of little accessories (i.e., Fingerease, Dunlop Tortex Jazz III picks), and I have added a 3/4 size acoustic that was previously my grandma's.

    Not included is my drum set, and my keyboard. They are nothing special, though.

    Obviously not my setup, but I love my timps. Technically they belong to the university, but they can't deny our love!

    Timpani is one of the greatest instruments in the world.

    That looks like either a Jackson, an Ibanez or just some random no name guitar. ^^ But kudos to learning guitar!

    I needed an amp loud enough to play with a drummer. This one had the most bang for my buck. What I love about it is that the head is actually removable and has both XLR and 1/4 inch output ports. It's basically as close as you can get to having a half-stack but with less bulk. Even still, it's quite hefty and I almost returned it, but I figure anything else I would get within my price range wouldn't be much better in that regard.

    Ever since I got my Marshall I've never had any problems with my sound. It really is such a great amp.

    BTW: I went to a Death Cab concert in Berlin a few days ago, which was really awesome, and fell in love with Ben Gibbards guitar.

    I am so going to get that guitar once I've got enough money. ^^
