At the end of this clip you'll be able to see some of my drums while listening to my band SUINGUE BRAZUCA playing live at Paris Cat Jazz Clube in Melbourne on 7 July 2007. On this track, I'm playing my 1995 Sonor Signature Special Edition (Bubinga wood). It looks brand new after 15 years!! Part of this 6-piece kit can be seen here: http://MelSamba.com/images/sonor_sig_1995.jpg
The song we play is called NEUROTICO, composed by legendary Brazilian saxophonist J. T. Meirelles.

I have a black 4-piece Rogers set. It's AWESOME!!! It was the style that Johnny Cash's drummer played on at Folsom Prison. I'm just gettin em restored, I'll never give them babies up.

I would suggest you to get a proper 20" rider rather than use a crash as a rider...

Cheers!!

[aberacadeborah]

well you may be able to help me??? I have 5 star super zyn hat and 15 inch crash(its supposed to be 16) I am afte a ride cymbal but i dont kno hat to get size wise......i bought a 20 " Avedis that too big to me in weight and the 20" seems BIG too. What would you think of getting an 18" crah ride as a ride-too small?

Any advice much apprectiated.

[melsamba]

G'day aberacadeborah ,

Thanks for your kind words.. I1m humbled!!

The cymbal has that old sound.. I love it too!!

All the best!!

Cheers!!
