I acquired through a trade an Orange 30w all tube combo amp. These great amps are Made in England and have a very "British" tone. More or less, most british amplfiers are darker in the treble and upper mids but not as strong in the bass as "American" type amps. Really, this amp is great and has a warm sound. It also gets LOUD for a little amp and it has a great "dirty" sound. They call the two channels Natural and Dirty. The Orange amp is known obviously for its bright orange covering and they are very high quality almost boutique amps. It is the nicest (most expensive) amp I have ever had. I like it! I cant wait to jam out on it at practice and such.
I also have a new way of setting up my drums. I have been watching a lot of drumming vids lately so I have seen a lot of different setups. That combined with my experience in setting up drums inspired me to experiment. After all, Im the only one playing em right? So my new setup is snare right in front of me. Also in front are my two smallest toms. My bass drum is on my right foot, and the ride is on the right side of it. On the far right is my 14in floor tom. On the left of my snare is my two pedals and the 16in tom.....kinda cool. it works well, better then you would think. I also have my cymbals going from lowest to highest pitch and the heights are staggered so they are easy to hit and look really cool.
