Rock Concert!!!

2/17/2016

This Friday, I'll be presenting my most ambitious (and crazy) program to date...a progressive rock concert for my "recital". I've been wanting to get back into playing drum set for a while, and decided to see about pursuing a few students to see if they'd be up for it. Luckily, they were, and they've more than met the challenge. We will be playing some standard rock instrumentals (La Villa Strangiato, YYZ), some from my early formative years (Ice Cakes), and some contemporary craziness (Stream of Consciousness, Enigma Machine)...I hope my short-hand charts are enough to pull me through this one! 

I've also been crazy enough to invest in a brand new set to make this thing really kick. Finally said goodbye to the Ludwig kit...after 34 years, it had outlived it's usefulness.

But I think the trade off was worth it...finally got the set-up that I've wanted for so many years!!!

A good bit of the cymbals and the hardware are being "borrowed" from UAB (work has its advantages), so it wasn't like this was all purchased at the same time. Just the 7 piece shell kit and the rack for now...eventually I'll add my own cymbals into the mix.

​Until next time...rock on!!!
