Calm before the storm at Showplace Theatre in Peterborough this past weekend. Featuring my newly acquired Sonique cherry snare!

Our regular sea-side gig last night with guest trumpeter and house kit with my new Canopus snare which performed well in terms of adding projection for brushes ....

I can't remember the last time I had to write out the structure of a song. But it must have been before I started mounting my cowbell on my bass drum. Now it does double duty as a cheat sheet holder:
We were over on the east coast this weekend for a cool show in Savannah GA. A small outdoor venue (I would guess it seats 300) and had a great Saturday night!!!!
As the doors were opening I went and grabbed a couple of more pics... I don't like being outside but this was covered enough that it played very much like a good sounding room.
And for fun, here someone's cell phone video of "I Can't Go For Tat" from soundcheck... even when they are just dialing in the ears and half hearted phoning it in, these guys still sing great... all 100% live vocals, we use no tracks at all (yes, we do have drum machines on the hits that had drum machines but zero stems or tracked instruments)....

Folks.... my favorite thread fell seven pages in a week. Sigh, I suppose it's time for it to fade away maybe but as long as someone post a drum set photo, I'm going to keep ogling and enjoying every pic you post!
This was a blast for me this week, Instead of my almost weekly high energy Hall & Oates show, I played a wedding Friday afternoon with a local contractor in a very bright room so dynamics was critical. I LOVED IT... and thus the big Sabian selection, lush and easy to open up with my smaller end of my INDe shell bank at 12, 14 and 20.

Getting ready for a benefit show in a few weeks. This band has been a remote recording project so it’s a thrill to get to play live together with everyone in the same room at the same time.
15 K Light hats, 18 K Custom Dark crash and 20 rides, a K flat and a prototype Staccato. Acousticon bass and Ludwig toms. Finally settled on an ideal snare for this band live, a 6.5 Ludwig Maple Classic. Fantastic cross stick, thank you Lord.

Played a "kiddie concert" with a local orchestra this morning. Backline kit, but the snare drums, bronze, and accessories are mine. The program included two movements from Prokofiev's "Cinderella Suite," John Williams' theme from "Superman," and music from "Frozen" and "Stranger Things."

From a regular synagogue gig I do. I change it around from week to week but there’s almost always some parts of it a kit and some hand drums, usually riq and darabuka. Normally it’s me, a bassist, piano and another instrument - this week a great our/guitar player so I leaned a bit more into the hand percussion. Kick is an old Tempus shell with extra holes, no reso side hardware, snare is a 1920’s two-piece brass Ludwig with aftermarket brass hoops and clips. Schlagwerk cajon, Cooperman riq and hybrid tambourine, Meinl frame drum, AMP hybrid darabuka, Hammerax ride (almost sounds like a sizzle but there are no rivets), Meinl Byzance splash (that I think I got from @HalldorL many moons ago?), and some small instruments. Also really have to recommend the Dragonfly BD beaters - I am using the medium canvas one here and it has a really beautiful slightly rounded sound (great for a smaller/lower volume room) while still being focused when needed.

And something totally different: set up this weekend from my station for a performance of a new concerto for percussion quartet and orchestra. Yamaha Clib Custom toms, LP bongos, a Yamaha 18” Beech Custom kick mounted on Black Swamp Percussion MultiLegs, Black Swamp woodblocks (both products developed and/or improved by the mad genius that is @esooy), and a Yamaha vibraphone. Further in front of me you can also see a Yamaha 5octave marimba and a bunch of beautiful Dream gongs.

They livestream the services but the sound people are sometimes not as on top of it as they could be (cough cough) so often the full band sound doesn’t make it onto the livestream unfortunately. But picture a mix of traditional Jewish secular music with some more modern feels thrown in sometimes. (Funnily enough the pianist and I also work together a bunch at a really progressive church on Sunday mornings. As he says, they are the shows that never close!)

Cool theatre gig. Mahogany & Maple Craviotto’s sounded fantastic with the Agops!

Mad genius...haha
Why didn't I think of that thing years before I did. I could have used it a lot more.

With the health issues, and subsequent minor surgery to start the year, I've yet to have a gig. As a result, my office has been my basement, which I love, but which I'm itching to bust out of. Gotta wait until April Fools' day for that. Fitting! Lately my basement office has been a lot of fun since setting up my entire RN2 shell pack as two kits: 24, 13, 16, 18 on one side is now my favorite config, and 22, 10, 12, 14, 16 on the other.
