Nice fast ten minute setup.

OMG! That's a lot of gear. And I thought adding a 2nd keyboard would be overkill - not after watching this.

Thanks for sharing Gary - fun stuff.

Wow! Now I remember why I play in a trio. It's every man for himself. I plug the C1 into the K4; setup time - 1 minute. At my age, that's as complex as I can manage. More power to Gary, though. Should keep you mentally sharp.

BTW, these are the kinds of posts and demonstrations that are both interesting and educational. All of us go through some form of this, so it's interesting to see how each of us approaches this most unpleasant part of 'gigging'. Personally, I like Capt. Russ's method.......he gets his son to do it .

Gary, ... great job ... you are so organized, it's SICKENING !!!

I notice that not only do people want to talk to you while you are playing,
but also when it is so evident that you are video taping something ...
walking in front of the camera and all ...

I really like the RnR cart set up, but what do you do when there are stairs - even just a couple - involved? Do you take the cart in to a level spot, bring in the gear and load it onto the cart?

thnx for sharing your expertise ...

Love the idea of the Trolley.

I'm thinking about going back on the road gigging as a one man act, and I think I might make myself a Trolley like that.

Making more than one trip means I'd have to lock the Trailer each time because here people would rob the eye out of your head if they got the chance.

James get the R10 I wont leave home without it!

Gary, thanks for the great video, very helpful. Ditto on the R10, I had been using a Home Depot convertible hand truck. No comparison to the R10.

Get the R-10

Sweet, thanks Dnj.

I'll see if I can locate one on this side of the pond. If not, I can copy the design and build my own. I'm a Sheet Metal Worker by trade believe it or not. My life before music :-)

Gary designed the rock n Roller ramp.

Nice job Gary. I do something similar but I don't have as much gear as you. It's really the best way to go. Thanks for sharing with the video. It was great.

Good setup Gary way to go!

here you go James a UK dealer...

Gary, do you have a ramp for your van, and just wheel the loaded cart on and off?
If not, you should design one! Or you could get one of those vans with a lift. Then you could get a handicap tag and park closer too.
Hammer had his rig at the jam. He has everything set up on the Rock n Roller and just wheels it in.

Don I've seen that done before it works great with the right van & ramp setup.... .....until you come across Stairs

We can always count on Gary to come up with innovative solutions to streamline our routines. The R&R cart is a lifesaver too. I have the R10.

Thanks Donny for posting and Gary for showing us how to make a pretty complicated setup appear very manageable.

Randy

Thanks Donny for sharing the video. This issue was one of the first discussions I participated in when I joined this forum. Gary took the time to share his step by step method with us but seeing it is more enlightening. Who new that Gary is so smooth with movements like a well choreographed dancer.
I think my problem is that my equipment is right-handed and I’m left-handed.
Ciao,
Jerry

I know Gary many many years .....
and his title of "Mr Wizard" is undoubtedly well bestowed .... When he says a 10 Minute setup he means just that
I'm glad every one enjoyed the instructional video Gary asked me to post.
Seeing, absorbing is learning

Gary would just put a winch in the van and it's done ... ...
t.

That's why Gary "doesn't do stairs" ...
t.

many times you have NO choice.....& don't find out till you get to the gig & have to start lifting & carrying up the stairs!!

Stairs are no problem...

I've heard about left handed accordion players...I didn't realize...I knew one...

That video is cool, Gary! Thanks for posting, Dnj.

Yes, Hammer does have his set up to just wheel in and play. If that works well, that's a good way to go.

Donny ... I believe that one of Gary's new criteria for accepting gigs is that there be no stairs to negotiate ... I believe he asks beforehand ... Now THAT'S SELECTIVITY ...

t.

I think you all missed the point...

Look the comments below Gary's video, from "Panda" of the "Killergirls"
and click on their name, or here: http://www.youtube.com/user/killergirls and play the big video. Well, killer asian girls!

Now, what!

what a joke .....funnny that guy has no cables going to the keyboard [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/eek.gif[/img]

this is a new trend... who is going to realise the cables are missing with those three in the foreground?

What keyboard?

cue the music..... "AND NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS YOUR...

ASIAN IDOL" ...
Actually, they seem like pretty talented kids ... ...

t.

Yes I know Tony.......like this?

I'd like to see the reverse "PACKUP & Car load" video times of course also...
