Arizona Bay Special Guest Star - Norbert

Norbert is another TNMS Alumni who has been nice enough to send me some pictures of his kit that he is very proud of - a Tama kit with a definate John Bonham feel to it as you will see below. Norbert is in his thirties and has been playing the drums for about 20 years. Norbert is a resident of Holland, and is in a band called Lemon Crush that has released 4 albums.....

As you can see, the Bonzo feel is very strong with this kit (especially the ultra retro separate tom stand) - but he has gone for the smaller bass. he used to have x2 bass drums but quickly realised that not every venue has the space for them - he now uses a DW 5000 Pedal as a compromise....

The kit from above - lots of PAISTE precious metal. I always get a bit emotional when I see that old RUDE finish - all of the cymbals are PAISTE apart from the old WUHAN china.

As viewed from the side.....

The whole kit is Tama - but this snare drum is an Osan - combining brass and wood. This is the same design that DW have adopted for the Neil Peart snare.....
