Maybe his deal is experimenting with cool grooves, so he doens't care about more cymbals or tom-toms. Just out of curiosity, have you seen Marco Minnamann live? _________________ JeffMartin wrote: Incredibly cool artwork. You're hired. For what...I have no clue.

Its nice to have many timbres at your disposal. You dont have to use them. Remember, were not talking about a MONSTER kit, just adding some toms to bring it up to what you expect from a beginners drum set. _________________ Suhr GG > peterson strobe 2 > EB wah > Rothwell compressor > Suhr Shiba > Suhr Riot > Jam boomster > Jam ripple > Delay Llama Bogner XTC > EB volume > bi-chorus > cornford 2x12

If you watch other videos of him playing he uses a bigger kit with more toms and cymbals. _________________

I like how he can make his playing interesting without a bunch of extra stuff. In fact, I see this as him deliberately handicapping himself so he thinks of new ways to be interesting. That's just me though. He is the most entertaining drummer I've ever seen next to Marco. They are my top two.
