Equipment

I presently have four drum kits, centered around a 16, 18, 20, and 22 inch Kick. I use the appropriate kit for the Gig. If needed, I have a full Mic setup for amplification. Dynamics are important, so I own and use brushes when appropriate. I also have a Stettler Cajon, Deagan 1948 Marimba, Aztec ceremonial drum and Bodhran when called for. I am a piano student of 22 years with a good grasp of music theory. I have a 1917 Everett grand piano and an Ensonic MR 76 Keyboard in my home studio/rehearsal space.
