In the shadow of great drummers!

Chadzilla, Rob Chamberlin and Christian Teele are all well known drummer/percussionists in the Front Range of Colorado.  All three have worked with Perpetual Motion, the band I was asked to play with last night at Swallow Hill in Denver.  The music is instrumental and based on the Fingerstyle guitar playing of Tom Carleno and the violin of Josie Quick.  I love music that mixes styles, so their tunes were right up my alley!
The aforementioned drummers all came up with great parts to the songs, including drum kit and lots of percussion, so I had a lot to cover.  One thing I did was incorporate the Flameco Cajon, a great instrument invented by African people along the coast of Peru.  I also played a hybrid rig, consisting of my small Gretsch jazz kit (18" kick, 12" rack tom), my Tama 5" by 13" snare, LP Accents quinto & conga drums, and a rack with various rattles.  Can't forget my trusty Paiste Signature 20" Dry Crisp Ride and 15" Paiste Signature Fast Crash cymbals.  Also used a Luis Conte shaker & Remo Spring drum.  It was a joyous night of music making!
