Backline rental in Tbilisi
We rent out hand-wired tube amplifiers and a Ludwig Classic Maple drum kit for concerts, festivals, video shoots and studio sessions anywhere in Tbilisi. The same gear that lives in our live room: Vox AC30 HW2X, Marshall 2555X Silver Jubilee with a 1960BHW cabinet, Ampeg SVT-CL with a Heritage SVT-410 cabinet.
Rental rates
The base rate is per 24 hours. Two days cost 1.8 of the daily rate and a week costs 5 daily rates, so the longer the rental, the cheaper each day. Delivery, loading and an engineer on site are charged separately.
Individual items
Ludwig Classic Maple shells
20″ kick, 12″ and 14″ toms, made in the USA. Heads are checked and tuned before every rental. Hardware and cymbals are rented separately.
Ludwig snare 14×5″
A separate snare for drummers who play their own kit but want a different voice for a show or a session.
Hardware
Cymbal stands, hi-hat stand, snare stand, kick pedal and throne. Rented separately or together with the shells.
Bosphorus Groove cymbals
A Turkish handmade set of two rides, 20″ and 22″, and hi-hats. An old-school jazz and funk voice rather than a standard rock set, so bring your own crashes if you need them.

Hand-wired British combo with Celestion Alnico Blue speakers. Comes with a footswitch and a cover.
Marshall 2555X + 1960BHW
All-tube 100-watt Silver Jubilee head with the hand-wired 4×12 cabinet loaded with Celestion G12H Greenback Heritage speakers.
