THE DISAPPEARING DRUM KIT - Steve's Sessions 

And the neighbors... and the police 😂

Don't feel bad so does mine I have 2 dw kits tama gretch 1950s Sonor Birch and I'm a snare collector have 31 snares my wife says 1 day she gonna put everything on the street...welcome to the club I guess

Good one!

Glad you enjoyed it! Steve

Thanks! This was fun to do and brought me back to the routine I did in the 70s. I had forgotten about it and came across an old picture from a gig and it started me thinking about doing this again. As an aside, there is no digital editing in terms of my playing. There’s one continuous solo, not segments pieced together. The items on the set were removed in real time as I’m playing. When we moved the ride cymbal and then the left side cymbal we deliberately didn’t show them being taken away, but when the bass/tom, floor tom, HH, SD are removed you can see my guy walking them off the stage. In the latter narrative half of the video I talk about how this can also be an exercise in continuity and also spontaneity and creativity. Working with less and still keeping the rhythm and ideas flowing naturally. And, it gives me a chance to play one of my favorite sets of all time and my personal Fibes snare!!

Glad to help. Yes, navigating through everything we’ve been faced with for the past 3 years is no easy task! I try to keep smiling and also try to keep having fun. Drums bring me that “fun factor”.

Thanks! The snare was my personal Fibes. Chrome over fiberglass.

That's a fantastic snare! I appreciate your reply.
