Drum Video

I really like Promark's hotrod sticks, especially with the snares off. It gives everything a lighter and crisper sound. Here is a short solo back from 2009.

cd: dpex - live @ smith's old bar (7/14/10)

Our last show was played at Smith's Old Bar in Atlanta, GA with guests Nick Stephas on trombone and Barry Mills on percussion and vocals. We threw in a lot of improv, and It was probably our best show yet!
