Kami's Equipment |
Drums
|
Pearl MR Classic Maple
Kami bought them from the power station (located in front of the Budokan). "I think 'tum'(?) with drum
has some warm and profound sounds," he says. Shell(?) has half the thickness of the Z-type which he
used earlier, and it has a round and low sound. And the surface is painted with spark-laquer(?). "I
ordered the image color of violet," he says. "I selected the cymbals which has some feelings of
broadness and has long sustain, and I'm getting to like the snare which has a rather tender and round
sound. And my setting of the instrument is very horizontal (the same as before). Many people say it
looks very hard to handle the setting but I have my own aesthetics of my image of playing the drums."
He painted the butterflies by himself.

Other equipment |

Pad for Kami
It has 2 pieces. He uses the Alesis DM5 (below) which originates the sound.
Roland SPD-8 which was used earlier is not used this time. |
 |
Mixer for monitor.
Used for the PCs which mix sequence into live sound, (for e.g., Syunikiss, Gekka no Yaso Kyoku). Kami
controls the volume of sound of each instrument and click(?). |

Their module which is in the second row is used for the pieces Illuminati, S-CONSCIOUS, and
N.p.s N.g.s. The bottom is A-DAT. |

Pearl's hand-made 110-A&H. He changes them depending on the piece, and the mallet is used for
the collaboration with piano. Used for rolling of cymbals. |
