A Trip to the Drum Pad

Finally made it to the Drum Pad in Palatine last Saturday, right before they were about to close. I wasn’t able to check out their drum room with all the kits BUT, I did have a few minutes to check out all of the sticks they carry – An entire wall to choose from!

Usually, I am a Vic Firth guy as far as sticks go, I love Regal Tip Whiskers and Bristle Sticks, but was never able to find a Regal Tip stick that I really loved….until now.

Thanks to the Drum Pad, I am now working out the Joey Waronker signature sticks (he’s a lefty too!) and the “Crossover” stick. I couldn’t find it on their website so I better go back there this weekend on my way to the Chicago Drum Show and stock up!

Getting things up and running…

Hey all.

I’m working on filling in these pages little by little and just finished my first draft of the discography. There are more CDs and images that I need to track down but I’ll be getting that in there soon. After that I’ll get my bio and gear pages up.

In the meantime, why not take a listen to my most recent project, “Offering” by Mike Mangione & The Union.
