Why is there a guitar effects pedal (the Proco Rat box) doing by her Pearl kick pedal?

I mean, she does play guitar from time to time (like she did on some performances of Scandal Baby a few tours ago, Oyasumi, etc.)

I hope so much that Rina wrote a new song and will sing it with a guitar.

This guitar plays like a dream, comfortable as an electric. Pretty hard to get a bad tone from it.
Plugged in tonal quality is very close to those remarkable acoustic guitars the manufacture trying to imitate.
Btw, Fender should send Mami an Acoustasonic Jazzmaster soon.

RINA posted on her Instagram Stories that she has a new drum kit!

The first bass drumhead she'll be using is one that has their 15th anniversary logo on it.

I believe the finish is called White Pearl. Hope that helps.

The 15th anniversary logo looks neat!

Should be the "Masters Maple/Gum" aka "Reference Pure" series in ＃422 Matte White Marine Pearl.

Don't think it the "President Series Phenolic" as the grain pattern were long on that series and seemed to have more of a purple tint.

Check this out, guys!



Mod edit: It's already been posted about here:

Please direct any future talk about her signature snare to the above mentioned thread.

Did someone mentioned that Rina was cooled down on stage with the same old blue Dyson AM06 last night？ Sine the Temptation Box tour 2010 or maybe earlier.
Should this be included in her gear list?
I also noticed that there were sort of clear round audio shield attached to Rina's drum kit near her cymbals at both sides (Haruna and Mamis sides). Maybe the drummers in this forum could shed some light on it?

The clear baffles are from https://www.clearsoundbaffles.com/
blog photos show the clearsoundbafflles logo.

Its to bring down the drum volume and also to stop sound leaking to the other members, as the treble from the cymbols when really loud can end up being heard by Haruna etc. So its to tone down / easier monitor for other members.

i.e. if you don't want to play differently/change to lighter drum sticks etc when you are in a tiny live hour vs a stadium without having to change your playing style.

Yes Rina regularly has a Dyson fan placed behind her to her right side most of the time, but not all the lives.

Metal Mickey - RINA's gear would mean instruments/equipment she uses to make her music. In her case, drums, sticks, percussion instruments, monitors, recording equipment and the few guitars she uses.

I think stretching her gear to include a fan is a little... OTT, no?

That will regulate the sound spread from he cymbals less "piercing" but very little to level down the volume. And they look good. Genius!

Update, at the J-WAVE BORN TOMORROW free live that was on Sept 4th 2021.

I managed to get a seat right in front of Rina, so got a good look at the new drum kit, as for the sound baffles it was here again, so it seems to be her new standard setup, there are actually 3 baffles, the third baffle is used to cover her bass drum, its really hard to spot in a photo, my photos I took with my smartphone its hard to noticed unless you were looking for them in the first place.

@wildthing That's the beauty of why they are created. Instead of the drummer being concealed by badly scratched acrylic. 
Rina needs some dedicated carrying case by SKB/Gator/MONO or even an endorsement by Clearsound.

I'm sure they have the optional Clearsound case that house 4 of the baffles, as they usually roll out Rina Drum we usually won't be able to see it, anyhow not a scratch on it yet, so must be well protected :D

No endorsement as such so means there must of been a reason to use it.

Does anyone know which brand and style of throne Rina uses?

She uses a Pearl Roadster, based on the throne she uses for her electric drums (pictures in the first post of this thread) + this photo from August.

Just a mention, but on Pearl's website, in Overview there is a link to Rina's twitter, which is now kept by SCANDAL HAVEN.

For the Mirror tour, Rina has stopped using the baffles.

Have to check her photos again but she has a black digital drum in the setup too (not a digital drum pad)

Also during this tour she has been throwing out a drum stick in the air on stage every a few songs. :D
(At one of the previous Melodix recordings I counted about 16 drumsticks, so she has plenty to throw around)
