Rich - Drums

I play a Maple DW (Drum Workshop) Collectors Kit. The Kick and Toms are finished in Ebony Black Satin Oil accompanied with Chrome hardware.

The sizes and depths are as follows:

10"x8" Fast Tom
12"x9"Fast Tom
14"x11" Fast Tom
16"x13" Fast Tom
22"x18" Fast Kick

My Snare is a 14"x5" DW Collectors and is finished in Tobacco Burst Satin Oil also with Chrome Hardware.

I choose Paiste Cymbals for both live and recording use. Mainly I use 2002 Crash's, China, Sound Edge Hi-Hats and a 2000 Heavy Ride.

My hardware includes a Pearl Eliminator Double Kick pedal, matching Hi-Hat pedal and DW 9000 series stands and brackets.

To mic up this beast I use AKG 5 x C418 for my Toms & Snare, an AKG D112 for the Kick and 2 x AKG C1000s for the overheads.

I use a mixture of Remo and Evans G2 Skins, Vic Firth sticks and Protection Racket cases to complete this setup.

I also have a full electronic setup, a Roland TD-20 that I use mainly for practicing.

This is all industry standard and I'm proud to own such a collection of fine equipment.

Chris - Guitar

Lets start with my main guitars, when playing live I mainly use an Ibanez S-Type Prestige and my trusty Peavey Wolfgang (Eddie Van Halen's signature model).

My amp is an all valve Marshall LM6160 - 30th Anniversary, 100W combo with a matching Marshall 1922 2x12" extension cab. The amp has 3 separate channels and is fully midi controllable.

I use two floor FX pedals, the first being a Pod X3 Live for reverb's, delays etc. and for also changing channels on my amp via midi sysex commands, and the second being an original Crybaby Wah.

My preferred make of guitar accessories and cables that I use are made by Planet Waves.

I use Elixir/D'adario gauge 9-42 strings and Jim Dunlop Jazz III mini plectrums. For singing I also use a Shure Beta 58 to finish of my setup.

Gary - Bass

This is my pride and joy Bass gear. In the pic you can see my Mesa Boogie 1x15" cab with an awesome 4x10" on top of it, making these cabs a combined rating of 1000W continuous.

The main work horse of my stack is the Mesa Boogie 400+ head, It's not going to win any beauty competitions soon but it blows away any audience within it's range. It will destroy any 1000W transistor amp with ease and with 12 x str425 6L6 Power Valves you will feel it producing a REAL 500 Watts. This amp is used by many pro's including Sir Paul Mc'Cartney himself.

Then you look at my second humble possession, my Musicman Stingray 5 (yes it’s real). Compared to my old bass this is like the Rolls Royce of bass guitars. It has active pickups allowing for amazing harmonics and clarity throughout the instrument. My second guitar is a Fender Jazz American Duluxe.

Combined with awesome amplification as listed above, you truly do get an amazing and pure tone.

Claire - Vocals

Wow this is easy for me... I use a Shure Beta 58 microphone + lead and don’t forget my custom painted (SPARKLY PINK!!!) Tambourine.
