Thanks! The snare is a 6.5 x 14 Dunnett steel. The blueish grey color isn't paint. Ronn actually blues the steel. I love the way it sounds and it's sensitivity.
Playing for a 50's Rock n Roll dance club last night. A 1968 Pearl kit I picked up recently. This photo has reminded me to straighten up the front head when I get a chance.
Todays setup. Nothing really revolutionary. It's my whole kit. So well, kind of revolutionary because I never really do that.
Gig was for a gospel choir where I had to keep the volume down a bit. It was an anniversary "best of"-type of gig though, so the reason for all the toms and cymbals isn't for lots of fills and flash, but more because this is 3 kits in 1. Pop, rock, swing, 2.beat, various New Orleans type things + some orchestralesque stuff.
Usually I always use my Brass or Acrylic snare when I play live. We are an alternative rock (from the past 20+ years) cover band, with some classics, and today's hits. This is the 1st time I brought out my maple Salesman. It was a somewhat lower volume gig but still feel like my brass cut through better.
The band playing with Jim McCarty(Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Cactus, The Rockets..etc...) a couple years back. I had a grin on my face the whole time as he was ripping off sweet leads. A very underrated guitar player.
