Here's a few pics of my set up at some recent gigs I've been asked to play, with a 12 piece band (with 2 dedicated and very skilled sound engineers - one for front of house and one for on stage monitors. I could actually hear myself very well on stage for a change!) This group is touring around our state a music/theatre show about the life and music of George Harrison. They play music from early days of his work with the Beatles through to Eric Clapton and the Traveling Wilburys.
We played a sold out show in a theatre on Saturday night to a very appreciative audience. They loved it and even yelled and stomped for more!
When I was first asked to do this gig I didn't think I would dig the music that much, but as I've played a few gigs I've come to really appreciate the music and I've learned a lot too.
There's only about 6 songs out of about 30 that I play congas on, but plenty of small percussion work, bells, tambourine, cymbals, chimes, jam blocks, shakers etc that require precise timing in the song arrangements. It's been a lot of fun and a great learning experience..
We have another 5 gigs until the end of April.
here's a few pics ....
The congas I use for this show are LP Giovanni Palladiums.
cheers
Pavlo
