The Drum Kit that Barbelith Built (photo request) (NSFW)

My kit is old and battered and seen better days. It looks kinda cool and tatty, but it could look a lot cooler and tattier...

So here's the idea: I want you to inundate me with the coolest pictures imaginable. Black and white only, please. Post them to the thread, send me links, show off your own art or photography, or PM me and I'll send you my address. Hey, fuck it: pages of text will do. Anything you think would look cool, from any source. A little paragraph explaining your choice would be good, too: it'l be nice if the kit tells a load of stories.

When it's all collated I'll get out the wallpaper paste and stick them all over the shells. Then I'll come back to this thread and post pictures of the finished kit in all its glory.

Looking forward to your ideas...

you should also have a magneto was right print, a mages in training print, and any other stuff offa QG and the like.
...and you could sigil the fuck out of it til it looks like its been touring rivendell. runes and shit, maaaaaan.

i'm seeing one huge fuck off symbolic representation of your TIGHT-TIGHT-TIGHT skills on the front of the bass.

[what follows is a post that was in answer to a criticism of my contributions from flyboy, one that i felt was unecessarily aggressive at the time. his post has since been deleted without my knowledge and against my (until now unexpressed) wishes, making my rebutal less relevant.]

i saw that part. i figured he could decide to dinghy my choices or print one or two in colour.(the rage one is almost black and white...)
i also didnt feel that any of them needed any explanation as to why they caught my eye.

ach weell.


i dont think there's really anything to say about that first one...

rage against the machine famously cant even get in a practice room together. there they are in one for one of the last times; a band holding back the fury they feel for each other, letting it come out on EvilEmpire, the best thing they have ever done.

again, i dont really think that the cutest visual of menstruatuion you will ever find is in need of an explanation.

my yearbook photo.
my text was censored by the school, and so i took that.
it also works as a reminder not to let my mouth hurt me.

everybody needs a johnny cash.
even you.

so, just-i-fly-my-ointment, where are your suggestions?
or is it too much trouble to step up and play when you could be hating?

Dude, pulling that masking tape off is *you* hurting your mouth.

I reckon Seth should go for the picture of Rage Against the Machine.

Who doesn't like Rage Against the Machine?

Thanks grant.

The rest of you are rubbish. Post me pictures or I'll throw a Modthree style hissy fit and take activist action, hard style!
