Re: 4 piece drum set. Starting sticking with 4 pc kits long ago, primarily due to giging. Who wants to lug more from rehearsals to gigs all week long? I play everything from 60's to date rock and dance Pop, Dixie Land bop, R&B to country waltzs and never miss the extra tom(s). Well, except for the occasional long rolls of Peter Cris in Kiss! One tom, bass and one floor and a Bonham triplet will get you far.
It's the groove I'm always hired for, improvise with style and lay down the groove and save your time for playing, not lugging equipment around. As others have mentioned, you could use some more cymbals.
Groove on... |
