Interesting kit. I'd like to hear you play.

Here are a few clips that may be a little tough to see the whole kit, but it does show the various "voices" I get from the setup. The performances are NOT perfect but to quote my Father before my first public performance 30 some odd years ago "If you are going to make a mistake MAKE IT LOUD"

During the year 2006 I played with Gypsy Dreamer as a side project. We played original rock spanning a multitude of styles. During this time I never abandoned my power trio Forged-Alliance however juggling the two projects got to be too much. Regular gigging once a week with GD as well as 3 rehersals a week combined with my normal Forged-Alliance rehersals and daily practice was BRUTAL. Not to mention having a Full time job and a wife.
