Hi Brian,

VERY nice set-up. I wanna be like you when I grow up. I have made my load in as easy as possible. I built a small enclosed trailer with a ramp and I use 2 Rock-N-Roller carts. I load one up with lights, the other with sound. Roll them in the trailer and time them down loaded. When I get to a gig, I just drop the ramp, untie them and roll the whole thing in. This way I only have to load the cart once and indoors. Have fun, but not too much, in Germany!

@MrBklein31 I think I'll have to buy a rock-n-roller this season. My Milwaukee cart is very nice, but just too bulky

@CodUndead Post an ad on Craigslist, and charge less than your competitors. That's what I did and it worked. Check out my gig logs when u get a chance.

Hey, How can I get my name out, I want to start doing gigs but I just don't know where to start at.

@gast25m You can go to a fabric store and by a few yards of spanex, make a square frame for the bottom and attach to the top of pole for a cheap version. Some dj's like to use white spandex, then you can put a flood light in the bottom like the ones he had on the back wall to have color changing effect added. If you buy the pre-made ones it will cost you upwards of 60-80 bucks. You can get them on pretty much any dj supply site. I suggest pssl or pro sound stage and lighting.

Just curious I spin in Hawaii, and was wondering what the average price is for mobile dj's in the mainland. From what I can see the parties are way different too. People party a lot more here, lol.

Cool way to end a Gig w/ a Lighting Storm! Nice

Love Tri-7s they just look great in a show.

Hand truck thought. Load it in last, on its side, with bottom plate and wheels facing you. Open back, slide out truck, load n go!

hi brian,

nice setup.

well I hope I can find the right words to let you know what i want to know:

I´d like to know how you did hide the stands of your speakers?

the black triangelform looks very cool...

did you buy them anywhere or did you built them up yourself?

thank you for answering

:-)
