Percussion Drum Set
This is what I call this contraption that I designed for acoustic gigs.  
It covers just about all of the sounds I can generate on a drum set but centered around a 10" Djembe for Kick and Snare sounds using bass tones and slap variations. The Bongos are used like toms on a set and add to the sound pallate. A set of 12" Hi-hats and an 8" splash cymbal give me the the ability to play cymbals along with the hand drums. A tambourine is mounted to a kick pedal on my right foot for accents and other rhythms.

Rhythm and Motion

Filiz "Diablo" Dolar and myself team up to form a drum and dance duo for fun, private parties, corporate events, promotions, live shows, etc.

New stuff on the way from us.  This video is a preliminary "taste" of what can be done with the tribal rhythms and sensual movements of this master partnership. 

It's as fun to play as it is to watch.
