Tannoy PA system was always supplied by the venue (just like for most
Queen gigs at least up to the Sheer Heart Attack tour).
Percussion
Roger had a Ludwig kit, which was the dream of any British
drummer at the time. On the photo it looks quite big but perhaps
that's an illusion :-) Some details: 2 cymbals (crash and ride, both
Zildjian probably), hi-hats, snare, bass-drum and two floor
toms.

Bass guitars
Tim had a Fender Jazz and he also apparently bought a
Danelectro when he was asked to play bass for Smile (he's
actually primarily a guitarist, and would have some nice Gibson LP's
later on).

Guitars

Brian played the Red Special with two Vox Ac30 amplifiers,
which he'd bought for 20 quid each in 1967 (more or less).

Piano

Chris Smith played a Selmer Capri organ during the Smile's
first gigs.
