Larry G. Drums
BIO
I was born in a small town in western New York somewhere between Buffalo and Rochester.
Southsider's they called us but I grew up with a Great family and a Great neighborhood with a bunch of Real Good folks.
My Dad was a TV tech and a musician.Woodwinds was the instrument of choice.
Clarinet and saxaphone the preffered tools of destruction.
I guess that's where I got the bug.
I was a jock in those days hockey, baseball and tennis were the sports I played the most. I still play one of those sports today.
Fast forward 40 years living in Houston,Texas. Playing and being around music is what I do.
Audio engineering for some big artists and working with many more in support.
I can't even count the number of gigs I've done playing or production wise.
Yes there have been that many.
So much for the personal stuff. Let's talk hardware.
I have always had a soft spot for old drums.
Being born in the 60's those seem to be my favorite.
I have 5 acoustic kits right now and 2 elctronic.
Kit 1 : 1980's *Drum Shop series.
2-22"x18" Kicks
12"-13"-16"-18" Toms
Burgundy finish
Gibralter 2 tier rack system
Complete set of Tama Octobans
Kit 2 : 19** Custom kit from somewhere in Dallas.
26"x 18" Kick
12" x 9" and 16" x 12" Rack toms.
Coral textured finish
Kit 3: 1960's Apollo (Japanese import)
This kit had no kick drum so I took an 80's Tama Imperialstar shell and built one.

Green Onyx
Kit 4 : 1960's Whitehall (Japanese import)
