The Love of Edinburgh and Music all in one place
Dark Glass Alpha Omega 900 Bass Amp
The Omega 900 in action both in practice and on stage, it's an all round good performer with very clean sound, unless you use the in-build distortion.

Microphone Stand Bags, my favorites and other options
Переглядів 4872 роки тому
Choosing the best microphones, cables, and mic stands is only part of the picture, we still need to consider how we are going to transport these items. I have covered a very popular bag produced by Gravity stands along with some suggested options to make life easier, and please do comment as I would love these videos to be more two-way. Although I have worked behind the scenes, it's a new exper...

Pixapro Super Heavy Duty Magic Arm

I reckon this arm is a little gem, it exceeds its load capacity but I'm not saying you should, it feels so well build that I just have to share this video, one item you should definitely consider for your short list
Studiospares Wind-up Speaker Stand, Discontinued, PLEASE Read below for an alternative.
Переглядів 6133 роки тому
As this stand has been discontinued by Studiospares, the nearest equivalent is the Gravity SP4722B Wind Up Speaker Stand which is still good value around mid £90, although its load capacity is 40Kilo it is still plenty for today's lighter speakers, the top hat does have a 10M thread for crossbars, the size and appearance are very similar and I do own many Gravity mic stands, so I would be confi...
Microphone stand comparison (K&M 21090, K&M 25950, Gravity Mic Stands, Tama MS205)
Переглядів 2 тис.3 роки тому
Buying cheap stands is a false economy, not only do they fail but need constant adjustment and would you really trust an £800 microphone on a cheap flimsy stand? I have looked at K&M as one of the favourites for live performances, and also Tama the drum people, yes they do make mic stands, and finally Gravity a new brand in comparison to the other 2. They are other well-made stands out there, I...

Good to know they Stand out from the rest.
BTW you have an incredibly pleasant and relaxing ASMR voice. I shared your video on the UnintentionalASMR subreddit just now.
Very informative review. I have own both Gravity and K&M products, my experience is that both brands have good and bad products. I can also say that Gravity's packaging is considerably better than K&M's. With K&M I often get products that are marred (scratched, dented, etc) whereas with Gravity I've never had that problem. For Microphone stands I really like K&M's chrome-plated variants. The boom arm is rock-solid and doesn't droop even when holding a heavy microphone fully extended.
I am split between the K&M 27195 and the Gravity MS4321B or MS4322B (I really don't know the difference between these, if there's any). Which one would you go for? Cheers
Hey Derek, hope you read this! You made a nice video from my Salmonstall in Edinburgh. This year I am back there as every year and the new organicer like from me material for ther advertising. Could you send me this video. Thanks Reiner
Honestly one of the best songs I heard
Wow...just WOW. I love this 🤩
They would be great if they would let you buy simple cheap parts to fix them if something breaks, but I have yet to find where that is. Can someone help me out?
How much does a wand cost
Hey Derek.. ☺️ I’m about to order the Tama MS205 Chrome mic stand, do you recommend it? Or is it cheap and nasty? You mentioned some stands use plastic inner parts, which are no good for friction.. does the Tama use plastic? 😏I’ve been looking for a chrome mic stand for ages… I can’t seem to find this Tama stand anywhere to buy in the UK 🇬🇧
great video !!
Nice one Des :D
My kids are amazing...! I miei ragazzi sono straordinari...! My boyz are extraordinary...! MUCH LOVE!!!❤❤❤
Can you only buy them at the market?
These taste amazing
Lots of Inveraray vibes in this medley
Hi, thanks for the vid! Could you fit a speaker stand in the compartment too? Was hoping to get one of these and use it for both mic and speaker stands. Cheers 👍
Thank you!
👍👍
Probably, Two days ago i heard you guys in Edinburgh! I was crossing the street with my partner beside Waverley station… bagpipe struck us and we were stopped there listening to the sounds…. Lastly we missed our flights and stayed one more day …. Probably it was you guys who played that day!!!!❤
The best performance i've ever saw in my life i traveld to the sky and come back as if i paid visit to the one i missed
ولا اروع كل شيء مضبوط
Maybe its only me but as a drum major, tenor drummer and base drummer can not grasp anymore why the base section is moving all the time , they seems nowadays being more poi dancers, do not get me wrong but 40 year ago we played music and the tenor section spoke to the heart, and was deep Feld, Now is just beauty before music it seems. I know I will critics on y comment but reality is still what it should be, even it is my reality give a loud bang so that the all pipe band enjoy. if the base goes wrong all the rest will do so too. You are all good in what you are doing and the sound is angelic to my ears, but do not forget the root base where it al growed from, just one thing to add and do not take it as offence asfore may pipes do the same the base section looks like automats or robots no feeling for the music just scores to go true
This takes me back to 1983 at the Princess Street contest. We had been practicing for our time to compete in Grade 2. There were 4 or 5 kids listening intently. The snare were playing modified Ludwig’s with an added bottom snare. Nice but flat the judges would say! One of the guys said he wondered who they were. The Pipe Sergeant said they were probably with a cheesy juvenile band! The boys all heard him & laughed among themselves! About 10 minutes later Boghill Marched past by. & their we saw those boys looking right at us. Oops!

Nice upload but not the world pipe band championships....wrong month, wrong city. Tune description wrong too..
Nice video
Nice video
Great video 😊
Had a better sound finish than the g1 band lol. Enjoyed this very much. A big well done
why does your video keep jumping around like that? I got dizzy lol thanks for the review though!
I suspect I left the optical stabilizer on which is not a good idea when on a tripod, also I did not reherse anything, big mistake, soon I will produce more videos, this time I will put in the extra work, sorry if I made you feel dizzy
@@derekwattvideos3155 man you’re right it’s probably the optical stabilizer lol the irony 😂 all the best for your future reviews.. btw I bought the K&M and it’s super solid.. love it
Edinburgh competition isn’t the Worlds, that’s at Glasgow green bud. Now for judging time The band sound nice in the March. Felt the last part was played forcefully at times. Strathspey is nice, but some parts don’t fit well between snare and pipes. Reel sounds great on the pipes, snares sound like they are behind the pipers at times, not a lot of dynamics coming across. (Could be my earbuds) All in all, great performance. By no means am I an accredited piping or drumming judge, nor am I trying to upset the band. The judging but is my opinion, and means absolutely nothing
Very constructive video, thank you for the review
Great video
Scary but fun 🤪
Cool video
I love this ride 👍
I love chocolate strawberry 🍓
Great playing and the transitions between tunes well managed. That’s a nice tartan- what is it?
Superb
Wow!!! What’s the hurry?
As much as I admire the bands playing abality I think there marching displine and dress is skocking. Where are the days when the dress was a traditional pips band and marching diepline was also judged. It also looks lkie a Drum Major is a thing of thr past
@@errolpollitt4812 not much of a need for a dm now adays...
Great tunes well played love the seconds
What are seconds?
Tenner drumming was was good some bands you can hardly hear it
Thanks for your coments, I take the audio very seriously and do my best to make a good recording while following the action live, for one person on their own it's some challange but one I enjoyed
Great band
I stumble accross the competition as I was unaware it was taking place, but made the most of the day and did my best to record the sound well and label each part of the competition as well as I could
We were there that year 🙂 Sitting and listening for a few days. And bougt their CD so we could listen their music while driving the Highlands
you got to see them live
Wish many of my friends who have passed were here
Great track lads it actually means something to me as I watched it performed in Edinburgh with a good friend who sadly passed away in 2017 and make me think of him bit like your drummer I guess
If you'd called the video "insane bagpipe version of this rock anthem" you'd have gone viral and spread this wonderful version far wider. So so good. I lived in England 8 yrs ago and came to Edinburgh twice. Made sure I saw you play each time
Rockin out man!
That performance almost did'nt happen as the rain was so heavy, but keeping up with their tratition they always finish the season with a fun performance, it was my job to record it, thanks for watching and your comment
