I dusted off the old par cans, wire wheeled, and repainted them & hung them on the new drum rack I'm designing. I will have the majority of the lights spread out around the kit over the top...like 2 of the cans, shown.

1 1/2" condiut from the hardware store, a tubing cutter and a shitload of "T" fittings from Ultimate Support.

2 sit down kits on the right, 360 degrees, where the lights are hanging and to the left...a stand-up drum rig (3 kits in 1)

I'll post a new pick...when the rest of the mounting hardware arrives. 14 Zildjians, 13 ddrum III pads, 10 simmons pads, SPSs, 2 nimrods & 2 dingbats...I have a LOT of clamps, booms, arms, tom tom mounts, Gibraltar curved tom bar, etc etc

damn, that looks horribly hot.....

newly finished basement?

yeah...the doors behind the rig are the entry to the studio, under my garage...about 1,000 sq ft. Total sq footage of the place is just under 8,000 sq ft. I used concrete planks for the floor of the gerage...giving me the studio space. My house is built from ICF (insulated concrete forms) 8" of solid concrete & rebar, concrete ceiling (which will be covered in a product called Linacoustic) and brick. the walls are 15" thick, carpeted, w/ a full PA, 48 channel console (2 Behringer MX9000s), 12 synths, my Scope & XITE gear..it will be called Muscle and Hate Studios...there will be many more pics of the progress to come...

Yeah That's the rig I'd like to see live.
They look like PAR 36's.
If so the Q45 Bulbs that are 100 watts won't melt your head.
I worked with a poser a few years ago who had all the gear a man could want with his own lights, etc. He should have spent the money on a few Dave Weckyl videos, or better yet been a bartender.
We talked him into going from 12 foot cage to 8 foot, but he didn't change his bulbs so he had a dozen 1000 watters scorching his head everynight.....
Keep us posted, and thanks for the jpeg.s.
As long as one has proof and jpegs, it's not bragging. Just showboating, but hey a man with pride is usually on a mission.

Good eye...PAR 36s...and the 150 watt otc bulbs work just fine for me...when I was touring, I designed one, about 1/3 the size, and it was shorter...this one is 6'6" tall. the other one was about 5'. I had no need for a separate stand-up rig...now I do, and my sax player at the time, decided to mount a few 500w pars on the kit...and I fried like a motzarella stick in a deep fryer six nights a week for 200 minutes a night.... not to be rude guys...I thought SOMETHING related to music needed to be started in Off Topic.... btw...I have a bad habit of bragging & the Mrs hates it too...

It's never gonna leave the studio...and some of the cans will be pointed at the keyboard rig w/ a few to spare for the other guys commin' over to jam....all that light on me....shit...I'll melt!

And to think I worry about the heat & power usage of my meager setup here...

Tonight I'll post a pic of the PA system...it's rediculous...

OT, I'm looking to find a diagram to make my own cables to connect the XLRs on my DDrum Pads to my Roland TD20, and can I use the same cable config with a Roland PM16. valis...you know of a forum I shhould check??

The new PA...I fired up one stereo stack, there are 2, so a true quad PA...and all I have to say is...OH CRAP...what have I done...

While I'm at it...synth rack 1
Access Virus C, Red Sounds Elevata, Waldorf Q, Supernova II, Roland JD990 w/ Vintage Synth Expander, Waldorf Pulse, Waldorf Microwave

Nice Start.............but I took the liberty of completing the center section for you.

damn it...that's gonna go in the other rack!! w/ the ADA8000s, and Lexicon, & Ensoniq DP4 rack!...dude....thanx for the love...it's commin'...we got word on the order confirmation! And now I wait...that was just beautiful...thanx Jimmy!

It's goin in this one....

hee hee... Until the drum rig mounting stuff shows up..I'm starting to run out of showboat toys...but not quite yet. 1 more...the keyboard rig..not that impressive...but 1 really cool synth, I fell in love with it when I first saw it, but couldn't pop for the 4K, when they were new...just think one of the last, real FM kings...stay tuned...same Panet Z Time....same Planet Z Channel!

God I hope I never fully "grow up" whatever that means...
