AI thinks it's probably part of a pinball machine

Doesn't come up as anything related to model railways.  Maybe post it on the Hornby Community forum?

@Moonglum    it's clearly a leccie kit in the Midge video.  Shallow drum shells and rubber cymbals    That hi-hat sound (which may be intentionally electronic sounding for this song anyway)

Hi

I've been asked to check whether a 1960's Tri-ang Jinty is a runner, and after a bit of cleaning got it going. The box contained an oil pot (empty) and a strange piece of metal that I presume is some sort of jig given the number of letters on it. A photo is below - anyone any ideas what it is? The overall size is 32mm x 26mm

Sorry @Foxhound and @ntpntpntp , am I missing something here? The live drum sound (IMO) is poor but the kit being played appears to be acoustic. The hi-hat is very bright in the mix but in any event it looks like the performance has been captured on a smartphone - hence the poor sound. Midge Ure is looking a bit older than when I last saw him!

Here are some well recorded drums...


Don't want to start an argument but I probably have...

PS the bass guitar is lost in the mire.

Me too 

Quote from: ntpntpntp on Today at 02:29:52 PMI absolutely love Ultravox, but struggle to get into Midge's solo output to the same degree.

The thing that sticks out for me in @Foxhound 's video post is the drum/cymbal sounds are obviously from an electric kit, just doesn't sound quite as good (speaking as a drummer who has a leccie kit at home but real accoustic kits for gigs)

Yes, I thought it was a leccie kit too. His bass player was very good, needed to be up a bit more in the mix, I thought.

My good lady and I fulfilled another of her musical ambitions and saw Midge Ure at our local venue.

The guy is a machine, word and note perfect. Totally blown away by the whole gig.

Footage from the gig (not mine) is here

Also a big fan of Mint Julep who create songs in a similar dreamy style to CT

That's some rabbit hole you've sent me down, Nick. Both great but I think Mint Julep edging it for me. I could listen to both bands all day.
