i play 2 basic drum configurations depending on the situation.
in keeping with my philosophy, i always play for the demands of the music - be it unplugged acoustic hand drums, ramones style punk, mississippi delta blues, or 80s style integrated edrums - and will bring to the table the gear required to bring the musical vision to life.
regardless of the type of gig, session, or tour my gear is professional, roadworthy, well maintained, and most importantly it sounds great.
