So my new amp arrived today, thought I'd show it off in its new home! Just need to finish the Otops and my BFM system will be complete (for now
)

Very nice! The XTi is a fine amp and it looks like you will have plenty of power for your rig. You may find that a DEQ would be a helpful addition.
Oh and +1 for the dual cowbells on the drum set

Yep, for those times when one cowbell isn't annoying enough....

Haha! I actually got those many years ago so I could play Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name .. you know with the 6 cowbell flams right before the first verse
The drums are a little dusty though since I got into DJing...

I left plenty of room left in the rack for such an addition, once the sawdust has settled and the wallet's not looking so anorexic
Thanks!

Huh, ....and I like the cow bell in songs. Am I alone in that?

They use them in Vermont to attract groupies.
They had to get rid of the grass on the football field at UVM, replacing it with astroturf, so that the cheerleaders wouldn't graze at halftime.

The reason drummers hang a cowbell on their set is so that no matter how bad their timing, how obnoxious their 1/16 note tom fills, or how they can't seem to ever find a groove......the band is thinking, "at least he ain't playing that damned cowbell...".

I also like the humble cowbell, hate the tamborine (the instrument given to those without time) but also detest the bag pipes.
