Chrystalis is the name of the drums, and Niteshade is the name of this transparent, neon-lit beast of a computer system.  It handles MIDI from the Roland TD-7, output recording from the Mackie Mixer, and pipes everything out to the two huge Yamaha monitor speakers on either side.

A profile shot of Chrystalis Niteshade. 3/4 frontal view of the setup. Conga station to allow someone on the other side of the kit to jam along with me. I replaced the Lugwig bass spurs with Pearl ones.  Much more stable.

 

Shot of Niteshade, the monitor, and the Playstation2. Real hackers don't need letters on their keyboards! The old 60's Rogers snare I restored . Most versatile drum I've ever owned. To all you rack owners, I recommend stabilizing it to a stare stand via a horizontal pipe.

 

Hart MultiPad trigger board.  Great for those looking for a compact trigger board with six individual 1/4" jacks. Mackie mixer on top of a Yamaha PA unit, stacked on a mini-fridge. Playing drums builds up quite a thirst.. Foliage concealing a 12" tom.

 

Japanese imported Playstation2 w/ modchip.  This thing's been thru hell. A different angle of some Vistalite lovin', complete w/ dreamcatcher. Gopher-Cam! Pics of the Roland TD-7 (aka Johnny-5).  I haven't taught it how to talk yet, but it's angled for easy accessibility and convenience.
