DRUMS!!!
Rhythm is the
whole enchilada. Nothing much interesting happens without rhythm.
I've been playing ever since my dad brought me home that tom-tom at age 5.
I enjoy playing rudimental snare drum solos, tympani in a symphonic
orchestra, and many styles of music on the drum set.
This beautiful 1969 Gretsch Kit has been refinished to showcase the
original maple wood which is responsible for that "Great Gretsch Sound".

Oh yeah... here's the other set that I use to play out. I
took a
minimalistic approach to putting this set together and built a small
chrome and brass set up. It has the
advantage of being able to be set up or taken down in 10 minutes. (Those
are Klipsch La Scala speakers in the background).
The Drums:
- 5 1/2'x14" 1967 Ludwig Supra-Phonic snare drum (my first real drum!)
- 20" Ludwig chrome metal bass drum
- 12" & 16" Roto Toms
The Cymbals:
- 2-16" K Zildjian Crashes (Istambul)
- 20" K Zildjian Ride (Istambul*)
