Malcolm Holmes
Malcolm Holmes' Drum Sets
"I’m now using a Roland TD-20 for the electronic toms and the cymbals."
"So when I first joined OMD, I’d been coming from THE ID so we were playing Electricity and some of those early songs on a regular kit which my brother bought me when I was 16, this Tama kit."
At 1:35, a Synare 3 drum pad can be seen in Malcolm Holmes' setup.
Malcolm Holmes (drums and general hitting-things) recently bought a rather large Sonor kit. Yes, he got a deal from them. "I thought well, the band's got far too much money, might as well spend a bit of it," he explains. Sonor kits are great for live work, this endorsee finds, praising their big, deep, powerful qualities in this respect. Drum companies seem keener than most on doing deals, don't they? Mal agrees, mentioning the Japanese makers as especially eager and pointing out that their government finances such activities. Sonor, a Germany company, dont't give kits away, however, so he settled for trade price, less a bit. "And a T-shirt," he adds. "I met this drummer who'd been down to the trade fair and he'd got a deal with Tama. They'd given him this huge 45-million-drum pink kit. That's what he came away with from the trade fair. I got a Sonor hat and a Sabian T-shirt." Ahhh.
