Sound to light with normal fixtures just changes the colour (most of the time), with moving heads it'll do that, but will in addition vary the gobo (light pattern), and the direction of travel. If you want to get an idea of what it looks like, take a trip to a local nightclub as they almost always use sound to light on everything. It works for constant upbeat music but for music that varies, or is slower in pace, it can be a bit hit and miss as there isn't a 'subtle' option on sound-to-light. With normal lights it'd be alright as they'd just stay on the same colour, but here you'd be left with lights zipping around, spinning and what not. Think cheesy school disco. So all in all, it depends what type of music you play, as to whether sound-to-light moving fixtures would look good or not. As for the various makes and models, they will all do exactly the same thing. All that changes with price is how well they do it. You'll notice with cheaper models that they can be quite shaky, and that the colour/gobo change is noticable (you see the thing moving out the way). The motors will be slower, and the output not as bright. So, what kind of music is it, and what's your budget?

I do indeed. Any specific questions or shall I wall of text you?

I have the 350H, and it's not as loud as I'd like, but it's definitely loud enough. Would recommend using it in a 4 ohm setup only though so that you get the full output.

Without a doubt, buy second hand. Take a look on ebay around the £500 pound mark for something including cymbals. Look for Pearl, Tama, Premier, Yamaha, Mapex, Sonor, Gretsch, PDP, or ddrum. And for cymbals, Zildjian, Sabian, Meinl, Paiste, or believe it or not; Stagg. Something like this would be perfect: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sonor-503-Series-Drum-Kit-/251163814324?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Drums_Percussions_MJ&hash=item3a7a87a9b4"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a7a87a9b4[/url] or this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Premier-Drum-Set-Sabian-Cymbals-Muffling-Pads-and-8-Drum-Sticks-/150913740984?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Drums_Percussions_MJ&hash=item232328f0b8 Look at those, top level drum manufacturer, not just some cheapo brand (CB or similiar), and you get a set of named cymbals! All for a very agreeable price! On which note, all of the major cymbal manufacturers make budget ranges. However they're made to be budget and as such they will intentionally make them to not be as good as their professional ranges. Stagg cymbals come in at the same price as the big label budget ranges, but they're made to proper levels. The long and short of it, is that if you're wanting cheap cymbals, go Stagg (Ideally their DH range), rather than getting a budget zildjian or sabian set. -

Mine got re-strung with EB Slinkys and then given to a girl who moved to my town without her double bass so she had something to play.

If you run 600W into the SP210 and then 600W into an OBC210 and run them side by side you'd find that the proper 210 is louder. This is because with the SP210, you don't hear the second speaker as it is behind the first, what it does do though is seriously meaten up the overall sound so that the response you get is nothing like what you'd expect from a 1x10. I bought this when I was at uni as I needed something small and lightweight that could still be loud enough for proper gigs. And it is, I've used it without any trouble, especially if you're using a head that's 500/600W like an OBT, you'll find yourself having to turn down. Just remember this thing is tiny so you want to be raising it up a little otherwise you'll be playing to your feet.
