Of course, Donny...I was just kidding you...an S910 is a perfectly excellent arranger...used one myself, till I started playing the Tyros4.

That said ...I'm hooked on the T4, just like Al, Steve and Scott.

Congrats Al,
Now you (Everyone) knows why I have been saying..."IT DOES matter how the keyboard you play SOUNDS!!

It's a matter of inspiration....I guess if your in it just for the paycheck it matters less...but we are musicians first!
Are we not?

If you love the sounds and so does your audience (Cusomers, Wife, Mom, Dad, neighbors) you just play better and want to play more.

HI Scott,

I use Behringer PMP2000 and a PMP1680S. The PMP2000 has (3) Pairs of Stereo inputs and outputs 250W per channel Stereo. The 1680s is 800 Watts per side, but only has two Stereo pairs of inputs which I use for larger gigs. I also use Peavey PR10's and PR15's with upgraded tweeters. Both the powered mixer and the speakers are very light weight. I also use a QSC K-sub Powered Sub for dance gigs. I'm hoping to get some QSC K12's at some point as they sound very crisp and loud.

Al

Hi Al,
Very impressive sounding rocker setup.

How long does it take to setup/breakdown?
With the QSC K12's, you'll really be rockin'. guitar drums keys

Hi Scott,

It doesn't take long at all; it's only 3 pieces at a time depending on the size of the gig. For most gigs, I only use the smaller PMP2000 and the PR10's. For larger gigs the PMP1680s and the PR15's.

I also just purchase the Apex AX90R keyboard stand:
http://www.ultimatesupport.com/product/AX-90R

I get so many compliments on that stand. It's a breeze to setup and it's steady as a rock. It is a little heavy, but it's worth it. The RED color really adds POP to the stage.

I'll try to take some pictures after next weeks Wedding.
