THE WHOLIGANS RIDER

If we fly in this is the equipment we need + Stage Specs..
If we are touring for any length of time then obviously we'll carry our own gear around, but for 1-2 or 3 shows backline will need to be supplied.

Drums

As far as any kit I could request, I will keep this flexible in that I could play any kit but here is what I would like; preferably Premier, but if not available Ludwig or Gretsch brand drums in the following sizes:

Two 20 inch bass drums (any depth) with two pedals, DW chain driven preferably but Premier, Ludwig, Pearl, Yamaha Iron Cobra chain driven pedals with a bottom plate for frigidness would all be fine.

One 16 inch and one 18 inch floor tom, preferably deep shell depths.

Three toms, all bass drum mounted; One 14 inch and two 15 inch. Preferably "not" power tom style but rather shallow tom depth - 8 inch, 60's or 70's style would be fabulous. New kits often however come with 9 or 10 inch depths or greater.

One Brass or Wood Premier or Ludwig Snare - 5" x 14" or 6.5" x 14"

Cymbals would be great if they were Paiste but Zildjian is just fine.
One pair of hi-hat cymbals 14" with a hi-hat stand with the tallest post available. when I do use the hats, I play them high.

Three other cymbals; a 20 inch crash/ride (if Zildjian - A series), a 22 inch ride (if Zildjian - A series) and a 24 inch ride (if Zildjian - A series). All with stands of course. I prefer to use straight stands but since I won't know the exact kit configuration, perhaps I should get the boom stands that can double as a straight stand, as they can be loosened and "opened" to make a short boom if necessary. I know that Pearl makes this kind of stand.

Drum heads, I NEED, Remo Pinstripes on all the tom’s top heads and a Remo Ambassador rough coat on the snare drum.

Colour; White or Red (sparkle ?) if there is a choice and of course, a drum throne (heavy duty and circular seat top).

Thanks
Darren
