Here's a recent shot of me performing with Take 3 at the Daniel Day Gallery and Dream Mecca Studio! If you've never been to this incredible venue on Birmingham's southside, you're missing out! It's an art gallery, it's a live music venue with performances (depending on the weather) both inside and outdoors, it's a bar, it's a crafts mecca, it's a vintage clothes warehouse. Daniel and Melody do such a fantastic job of making everyone feel so welcomed at their place of business

Here's an action shot of me behind a very vintage set of Ludwig Champagne Sparkle drums......they ROCK! They are the very desirable Blue/Olive badge 1970 clear interior 3-ply shells with re-rings, 22, 13 and 16. For the snare, I used (of course) the most recorded snare drum in music: the Ludwig Supraphonic. This particular snare is dated October 29, 1968 and has a keystone badge!!!!
