Labrat Drum Tech

Last customer before the final pack down of the workspace!

What a lovely guy! And an amazing level of faith to let me do this to his cymbal!

It still sounds great, and now it gets to live to crash another day!

See you when we're up and running again!

Temporary closure notice!

Hi all, the workshop we operate from is changing location, thus we have had to pack down and are waiting for the new place to become available.

See you soon!

How's everyone else's Thursday evening going?

I'm addressing some rusty hoops and giving them a good air dry!

Today's the day we give away guitars and other prizes to some of the folks who bought raffle tickets in aid of local charity Zoes Place.

The 'top prize' is this Agrajag Corvus II, a guitar that has been on quite a journey.

This custom build was spec'd up by local guitar hero, and friend, Kev Smith. Kev put much thought into the materials, the electronics, the neck and the shape - thinking carefully about how it would feel and how it would play. He put together a great plan, and it was an honour to build it for him.

Very sadly, Kev passed due to brain cancer. As his family wished, we finished the guitar at the workshop, and it became the star of the show in terms of driving raffle ticket sales and eventually raising £4,500 for the charity.

We'll be on YouTube at 5pm, drawing the raffle winners live, with loads of technical help from the wonderful John Robson.
