Steve Turner in action at the 2004 Festival

Steve Turner, one of the Island's top drummers for the last 15 years, is to sell off some of his precious gear. Having appeared at most of the Bushy's Big Wheel Blues Festivals both as player and behind the scenes adviser and funds raiser as well as appearing with a variety of local and UK bands at numerous gigs, Steve is well known by players, live music lovers and festival-goers.

But, as the old saying goes, it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good and so it is that you just might be able to pick up a bargain from Steve's extensive drum collection and even his immaculate PA...

Steve says: "There are 2 drum sets, both professional standard kits and hand/custom made, hence the price, all maple shells and as good as new condition.....not a mark on them as I haven't played 'em really.

The details:
1. DW Collectors Series Vintage White in marine pearl, signed on the inside of the shells by Zoro, 22x16;10x8;16x13; 14x6 snare.. £1,500

2. Orange County Drums in black wood stain 22x14; 13x9; 14x11; 14x5.5 snare £1,700

All drums come in a Hardcase drum case (Black and Yellow) and these are included in the price. Each case again is in first class condition and look new.

There is also a DW 5000 double bass drum pedal with double chain and weights up for grabs. Again it's cased, just like new and can be used as a single pedal if required... £150.

I also have a DW top of the range throne going for about £50!

My StudioMaster Mixer Desk is also available. It has 600 Watts per side….10 channels, 2 of which are stereo with 4 X Peavey speakers: 2 x Hisys "2" tops and 2 "115" Bass bins - 2 X sets of stands; one set for the tops only and one set if you employ bass bins and tops together. The desk has a case and the speakers have covers - it is about 5 years old, but has been only gigged when I’ve gigged which is rarely, so I’d say about 15-20 times. All leads come with it and I have the instruction manual etc. Price being asked: £1,800."
