For Sale: Roland TD-6 Drumset

Roland_td6_v_drum_set_for_sale I'm selling my teaching kit as I continue to upgrade my studio.

UPDATE:  The kit has been sold.  Thanks for your interest!

I've taken good care of this kit (it's never been used for a live performance, just for teaching beginning drumset students) and I'm hoping I can find a good home for it.  This kit consists of the following items with the current cost (when I could find it) listed to the right:

  • 5 Roland PD-6 Pads ($75 per at Bananas at Large)
  • 1 Roland KD-7 Kick Pad with inverted beater ($99.97 at Sweetwater)
  • 1 Roland FD-6 Hi-Hat controller pedal ($109.97 at 8th Street)
  • 1 Roland V-Club Set Rack for mounting the pads (as shown in the photos)
  • 1 TD-6 Sound Module/ Trigger Interface ($545.97 at Sweetwater)
  • All cables and necessary cords, including the original manuals for the rack and sound module.

Now (in my best info-mercial voice), if you were to purchase all these items separately, it would cost you well over $1100.00 USD. 

I'm asking $550 for it all, plus shipping to be determined.  This is a great practice kit (you could even use it in live situations too) and the TD-6  Sound module is easy to set up and edit.  You can read more about the TD-6 module here, but in short here are some of the reasons the TD-6 is a great module (copied from the Roland website):

Ultra-affordable V-DrumsĀ® sound module with 64-voice polyphony
1,024 drum and percussion sounds, 99 drum kits, 262 backing instruments
Intuitive, drummer-friendly interface
Built-in sequencer with 150 Preset songs and 100 User song memories
Onboard EQ and Ambience effects

Let me know if you are interested in this kit by leaving a comment below and I will get back to you with payment and shipping details.  Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon.  You can view more pictures of the kit by clicking here .

For Sale: Premier Signia Maple Snare Drum

Signia_snare_drum_for_sale Alright, it's time to clear out some of my drums.  So I'm once again putting up my 5.5" x 14" Signia Snare Drum for sale.  Price is same as before$150 plus shipping to be determined

UPDATE:  This drum has been sold.  Thank you for your interest.

The drum is in excellent shape and has been in climate controlled storage for the past 10 years.  Early on in the history of Sixpence I used this drum as a touring snare (when we toured with the Smithereens and 10,000 Maniacs) and it also made a few appearances on This Beautiful Mess and our platinum selling self-titled record

Anyway, you can see from the pictures that the top head has seen some use and that the Die Cast Rims are losing a bit of their lustre.  Other than that, the drum is in excellent shape and sounds awesome.  If you want I can even autograph the head for you...Let me know if you're interested by leaving a comment below and I'll get back to you with details on how to pay me and how much shipping will be.  Thanks!

Big Sale!

Just consider this like a big 'ole down home yard sale.

Folks, I'm in dire need of some cash and the storage space I'll regain once the gear is gone! So, I'm selling my stuff off cheap! 

Here are some of the items that are up for sale (and I'll eventually get them posted over on the sidebar...)

  • Yes, the Gretsch drum is still for sale and it has a new price!  $150. plus shipping TBD. (Sorry it's been sold already...)
  • Signia 14x5.5 Snare with Die Cast hoops and Topaz laquer finish.  $150 plus shipping TBD.
  • A rare Wood Hoop Premier Drumset in fair condition (the bass drum hoop is cracked and I think it needs new heads on all the drums, still it's a pretty cool set).  Price to be determined, but it'll definitely be less than a $1000.
  • Alesis HR-16B Drum Machine...vintage charm for $90 plus shipping TBD.

That's about it...I've got a few other items I'd like to sell, but these will have to do for now.

If you're interested in any or all of these items or would just like to plain give me a donation (I keep telling myself there is no shame in asking...), leave a comment below (click on the word "comment") and I'll get back to you lickety split!

For Sale: Vintage Gretsch (Round Badge) Snare Drum

note:  Sorry but this drum has already been sold (db)

I've got a Vintage Round Badge Champagne Sparkle 14 x 5.5 in Gretsch Snare Drum for sale. As far as I know, it has all original hardware on it, except for a Ludwig Snare Throwoff.  I bought the drum at Fork's Drum Closet soon after moving to Nashville because it matched the Gretsch kit I had recently bought (thanks to Mark Nash's wise advice) in Springfield, MO from Ed Bunge's Percussion Shop.  This all happened back in 1995-1996...

It's a nice drum and it' been a good companion, but I'm trying to thin out my collection of drums and thought I'd set this one free.  It's looking for a good home.

Item:
Vintage Gretsch Round Badge Snare Drum (14" x 5.5")
w/ Champagne Sparkle Finish


All original hardware, EXCEPT a Ludwig Throw-off

Price:
$150 plus shipping to be determined.

Sorry, but I have no pictures to post at this time of the drum.  If you are truly interested, send me an email or leave a comment below and I'll get you all the pictures you need to make your decision!  Thanks!

I have pictures.  Click here to see photos of the drum.

For Sale: Roland Handsonic HPD-15 Percussion Controller

SOLD!  Sorry this item is no longer for sale!

Before I post this on eBay, I thought I'd give you all "first dibs" on this:

For_sale_roland_handsonic_hpd15I'm selling my Roland HPD-15 Handsonic Percussion Controller. (it comes with Power Adapter, Original Box and packing materials, Original Manual, Custom Presets (programmed by me), and a (not pictured) Roland FD-7 Hi-Hat controller (new and unused - still in box).

Price: $650  Shipping: $25

I've used this piece of equipment on alot of records and with many artists (Jason Harrod, The Basics, The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers, and most notably Sixpence None the Richer).  I specifically used this live with Sixpence at the December 2000 concert in Cinncinati (at the Over the Rhine X-mas concert) when we played "Breathe Your Name."  I used it as a midi trigger and to play a Tambourine Loop and Vibes Loop I created, using the pads and internal sounds.

There is a bunch of info written about this on the Roland website, so I won't repeat any of it here.   This is a great piece of gear that is not only useful as a percussion instrument, but as a  general sound module as well.

Handsonic_detail_lHandsonic_detail_rYou'll notice in the pictures that I taped over all the Roland logos.  If you want me to remove those I will, however I left them on there just in case you wanted them.  I also have many of my own custom patches programmed into the machine.  If you'd like I can return the unit to it's originally configured state, just let me know.

Handsonic_back_panel_lHandsonic_back_panel_r_The unit is in great condition.  I used it mainly in the studio and at a church gig that I used to play. Let me know if you'd like to purchase this or if you have any questions.  You can do so by posting a comment below.

I can also take more pictures of the unit, if that would be helpfu ltoo. Original_box_and_packing_materials

  • Sixpence None The Richer: Sixpence None The Richer

    Sixpence None The Richer: Sixpence None The Richer
    The Grammy nominated, RIAA Certified Platinum selling album that featured the breakout hit, "Kiss Me."

    I was really happy how this record turned out. An honest, well produced CD by a couple of North Carolina's (and Northern California's) best songwriters. I also took the photos that appear in the CD booklet.

  • Rebecca St. James: Transform

    Rebecca St. James: Transform
    I played on a track produced by Matt Bronlewee, that featured the London Symphony Orchestra and some very "Bjork" sounding vocals by Rebecca. I think we did about 40 tracks of various percussion overdubs for this track too.

  • [Various Artists]: Never Say Dinosaur

    [Various Artists]: Never Say Dinosaur
    My first time to work with producer Brent Bourgeois and one of my first times in the studio with Sixpence. I borrowed a whole bunch of percussion from Steve Hindalong and had a great time overdubbing frame drums, rattan shakers and the like. The track ended up sounding very Daniel Lanois-ish with some Peter Gabriel-esq type layers thrown in for good measure.

  • Phantasmic: Fluffy Vs. Phantasmic
    "Rainy Day Assembly" appears on this record. This out-take from Sixpence's "This Beautiful Mess" session was used by Tess Wiley (aka, Phantasmic) and features shaker performed by percussion wiz Lalo Davila.

  • [various artists]: Snow Day: Music From The Motion Picture

    [various artists]: Snow Day: Music From The Motion Picture
    Sixpence's version of The La's tune, "There She Goes" is on this soundtrack album. And yes, I'm playing drums on that song...

  • [various artists]: Bounce: Music from and Inspired by the Miramax Motion Picture (2000 film)

    [various artists]: Bounce: Music from and Inspired by the Miramax Motion Picture (2000 film)
    Another song ("Love") I did with Sixpence from their self-titled album, appears on this soundtrack. Mark Nash and I played a drum duet of sorts to get the primal heavy-handed approach needed for this wonderful song.

  • [various artists]: Dick

    [various artists]: Dick
    One of my favorite tracks. Everytime I hear this song ("Dancing Queen"), I can't help but think of Alan Partridge.

  • Sixpence None the Richer: Divine Discontent

    Sixpence None the Richer: Divine Discontent
    Even though I quit playing with the band in 2001, the bulk of this record was recorded in 2000, and so my playing is featured on more than half the tracks on this record. Produced by Paul Fox, beautifully engineered by Mark Chevalier and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge.

  • Sixpence None the Richer: The Early Years

    Steve Hindalong, et.al: City on a Hill: Reflections on Our Spiritual Journey (Ccm Book)
    Okay, this is a book. But I wrote the first essay that appears in the book and took all the photos that appear as well. You can actually read my essay by clicking this link and "looking inside the book." Fun, huh?

  • Various Artists: Pointfolio 1.0

    Various Artists: Pointfolio 1.0
    A radio station compilation featuring in-studio and concert live cuts. Includes, Sixpence doing "Kiss Me"(with me on drums), and Fleming and John's "Ugly Girl", Dido, BareNaked Ladies, etc.

  • : Plumb

    Plumb
    Loops, fragments of songs and lots of percussion is what I remember from this session. Producer Dan Haseltine and Matt Bronlewee made this a fun and creative time in the studio. It was great to be a part of the debut album of such a phenomenal artist (am I gushing to much here?).

  • [various Artists] : Felicity: Senior Year (tv soundtrack)

    [various Artists] : Felicity: Senior Year (tv soundtrack)
    Features "Melody of You" a beautiful song by Sixpence None the Richer that I played drums on and was featured on the series final episode (I think).
