Pic upload test

This is my Rock & Roll cart.

Henni

Yes, it works!!! This is amazing news.

Henni

Last one.

Henni

Okay allready! Maybe I'll stop now.

Would love to see some pics of the rest of you in action.

Cheers,
Henni

That was a cool rig Henni!

Hi Skude,

Tx. You know how hard it is to get good sound when operating outdoor. Well, I've only recently added two bass bins with a proper crossover unit and now we make the area tremble wherever we operate. The sound is so loud that if we operate at close to full volume, my wife has to stand behind me on the trailer. The sound and vibration is just too much for her to handle.

Set-up time is less than 10 minutes and follows:

1. Open the front lid.
2. Open the two rear doors holding the speakers.
3. Takeout keyboard (PSR3K) and mike stands.
4. Connect these to the mixer.
5. Start power gen.
6. Play!

I used to set up everything by hand and can tell you, since I've built this rig, setting up have become a breeze for me. I would recommend this to anyone operating outdoor.

Keep well,
Henni

I normally don't post too much, but today I'm on a roll.

This is our much smaller set-up when we perform at a shopping mall. Still with a lot of punch though.

Keep well,
Henni

Very Cool, Henni. I really enjoyed your photos and I love seeing how other musicians setup and amplify their equipment. Are you using JBL powered speakers and sub's? Perhaps you can share your equipment list with us.

Henni ... great pics, thank you ... what did you re-size those photos to in order to get them to show?
thnx,

Hi Henni,
Way to go,Excellent innovation and Pic,A real go anywhere rock and roller, Bet it sounds as good as it looks,thanks for sharing.

Brilliand solution for outdoor events where no stage build.
Thank's for sharing.

Btw,
how does it look or what do you use if the rain comes and maybe don't stop?

Picture test.

Hi Henni, cool looking 'roll-along the way' PA setup you got there.

As your pictured outdoor venue audience appear to be all young native Africans, curious what style of music you present for this youth group? Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,

On a part time basis we do evangelistic Gospel outreaches amongst the poor in our country. We give them food, sing for them and then give them the Word.

Funny enough, we play mostly very lively and very modern praise & worship music. (I'm very fond of nice Ballad and also most Rock styles)Most of our music is rock! Amazingly, they respond very well to these.

I havn't got the detail with me now, but we use two double 15" Fanes with powerful horns, two 15" bass bins, a Yamaha power amp and a Behringer mixer. Plus we use an active xover system. The power gen copes very well with all this equipment and the sound amaze those who know better.

I used to have a much bigger setup years agao and maybe we'll get there again in the near future.

Yup, she was worth every effort in the making and I'm well satisfied with her.

Keep well,
Henni and Monica

Can't figure out how to upload pics (except hosting somewhere else first) or how to upload more than one file at a time.

Henni

And another one (doing it the tedious way)

Henni

Hi Tony,

I use ACDSee and then I resize to 400 x 400.

Regards,
Henni

Hi GJ,

When the rain comes we simply pack up and go. I lost one keyboard before when regularly playing in dusty conditions and won't make that mistake again. Today's arrangers do not come cheap and neither do the sound equipment.

Oh yes, one more thing: (as you can see on some pics) I have been accused on more than one occasion that I am mistaking my Rover for a LandRover. So as soon as we can afford, we'll upgrade to a 4x4. I've had the Rover into odd places already!javascript:void(0)

Keep well,
Henni

Henni, Great set up!! Very unique, love it!

Thank you ...

I want to congratulate you on doing The Lord's work with your word and music ... may God Bless you in your mission ...

Hi Scottyee,

Let's see if I figured out how to do this:







Now let's see if this works...Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

Come on all of you, this thread is not about me. Let's see some in action pics and set-up rigs of the rest of you too. Pretty please, please, please.

Henni

Bingo!

Henni...
Thanks for the great photos and explanation of what you do and how you do it. While a far cry from what you do, I recorded a brief clip at my New Year's Eve gig. It is not about me or my rig, although you will catch a glimpse of my stuff on stage....this clip is about the ingenuity of a senior community that had a FANTASTIC new years eve.

They bought a dozen high school or college band uniforms, found 12 of their own that fit into them and learned a brief routine, complete with cardboard instruments. The theme for their new year's party was "Senior Prom" and this was the "Half Time Show".

They know how to have a good time and these audiences are a pleasure to play for.

Henni

Aha, this works but limits one to one pic per post.

Another angle.



Henni

More food.

Hi Eddie,

Thank you for sharing. Difficult for me to watch or download videos, will try to download during the course of the day.

Keep well my friend,
Henni

Great job Eddie, thanks for sharing.

Hi ScottYee,

This is what our rock music sounds like:

This is what our ballad music sounds like:

http://www.box.net/shared/static/t675vh4sl4.mp3

All played using my Yamaha PSR-3000 arranger.

Henni, the links are not working for me.

Thanks, they work great, and you sound great as well.
Don

Henni. Enjoyed both of your tunes. Nice upbeat groove on Celebrate and nice delivery on the religious number. Your wife's got a nice voice and you decent playing. I'm impressived with the PSR3000's sound. Did you play the PSR3000 along to a midi backing track while your wife sang, or did you play the kb in auto accompinment arranger mode? My only suggestion would be to cut back the reverb a bit. Thanks for sharing your muisc from your uniquely evangilistic South African perspective.

Hi ScottYee,

No, we do not at all make use of midis or bactracks. All played live and recorded in one go on our PSR-3000.

A few more:

That's great !

Henni,

Hope you get your sponsership real soon, to continue your great and practical work. Love the setup - real sharp.

Allan

Hi Allan,

Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, when we get our sponsor we will go big!

For those interested, here's some more of our music. All played live on a PSR-3000 using auto accomp in the arranger mode: (when you use fill-ins often, the Yamaha's drums sound rather realistic - at least to me)
