GEAR:

ACOUSTIC KIT: I have a new Yamaha Stage Custom 5 pc drumset. Gorgeous, with cool stage presence.

CAJON: Glen is an expert on this versatile, acoustic percussion instrument. It’s sometimes called, Drums in a Box because it can emulate everything from a full drumset (with “snare & bass drum” groove) to a percussion ensemble (“congas” and more).

ELECTRONIC DRUMS – Yamaha DTX502 Electronic drums

With industry leading drum samples, my ekit has 50 full drumsets, ready to Plug & Play for any studio session

The DTX502 DRUM TRIGGER MODULE features a massive internal library of 691 percussion voices and 50 preset drum kits that cover traditional styles including Rock, Jazz and Pop as well as modern Dubstep, Electronica, Hip-hop, Metal and Punk genres.

HYBRID KIT

i) With my DTX502 drum module and drum triggers, my Acoustic Yamaha kit can be easily converted to a Hybrid Acoustic/Electronic kit.  Want some “handclap” layered to the acoustic snare? Fatten-up the floor tom?

ii) For a killer kit, merge my full acoustic set with my electronic set & drum pads. Want to add a tympani for that BIG ending? Some tasty percussion textures?
