Children Of The New Son-
Mike Parus put on a great show with his new DDrum kit. He had an arey of cymbals all around that he made very good use of through out his set.
I had the chance to speak with him just after sound check.
Mike was very easy to talk with about his set up and the album they are working on now. Mike did a great job on some of the faster dble bass tunes. Plus he uses a 10 inch snare like myself so that was a big thing for me. Great job on the kit Mike.

Steel Kingdoms TK ( Tom Kennedy )

Tom has been a memeber for more than a year. One of the 1st to sign up with RD.
TK uses a big double bass Pearl chrome kit.
We had a chance to hang out before they went on stage. What a cool honest guy TK is.
Steel put on a great show. I had played there many times myself with the Deb magone band sometime last year. Before I took over on the drums I had the chance of running the sound. Well I went and reintroduced myself to Frank the owner. He remembered me and said take over. So I had the honor of running sound for one of Rochester's finest bands.
Then at the end of the night I had to run up and fix Toms ride cymbal mic. He wasn't going to do a solo but I begged him to crank one out. It was freaking wild and fast. Great control of his feat.
Thanks again for letting me hang out guys and I will be seeing both bands as soon as I can for sure.
