#ST THOMAS SPYRO GYRA SHEET MUSIC PLUS#
My acoustic "kit" originally used a small diameter (kid's size) kick drum and a regular snare drum, plus hats and cymbals, but for maintaining a better volume balance with mandolin & fiddle/accordion, the kick drum was replace with a bodhran of similar diameter and a small hand (frame) drum with some snares stretched across it. Snare, hi-hats, one cymbal and a kick drum will do the job more than adequately, and often the kick drum will be a small one (18"-20" diameter) or one from a Kid's set.
Many drummers have more than their "club kit", and often they will take a stripped-down kit, or smaller size (in both the amount of drums and the physical size of drums) to rehearsals or low-paying gigs to avoid having to drag a lot of gear around. Or stomps/taps on the floor with the foot and tapping/clapping of the hands on various objects can be a "kit".

Brushes on a carboard box in the hands of a real drummer can be just as effective as a full kit. If the vocabulary/grroves are in the drummer's head, and he/she has technique/independence of the limbs, it doesn't (or shouldn't) make any difference how stripped down or minimal the "kit" actually is. The drumming is in the drummer - not the drums. (Personally, I'd much rather play with bass & drums over guitar & bass.) OK, I'll stop whining and go grab my axe. My highlight of the year (for quite a few years) has been Galax's Swingtown, but it seems to be withering away - 2 years in a row without Jeff Jenkins, etc. Definitely pushing my envelope, having been a bluegrasser for 3 decades or more. I love the tunes and it's a great pleasure (as well as an education) to be playing w/ guys who know "all the chords," so to speak, and can sight-read Realbook charts. Thomas, Rosetta, Watch What Happens, All Blues, Indiana, Willow Weep for Me, and several others. Our repertoire includes material like: There Will Never Be Another You, All of Me, Manha de Carnival, St. I'm going to stick with it because I haven't found anybody in this area to play choros, dawg, jazz standards, swing, etc. Definitely has punch and drive, but the volume is grating on my ears. The music sounds good but it sounds like it should be being played in a club rather than a living room. Well, I'm finding myself turning my amp way up, and of course the other 2 guys did too. That's why I wanted a percussionist, rather than a drummer. Both of these guys are good drummers, but I was worried that we would lose the acoustic-type sound. I advertised on Craig's list and we got two drummers. We've sounded pretty good to ourselves and have progressed to the point where we felt we needed a percussionist. I'm playing a mid-70s Givens A-model w/ a very old Fishman pickup, and I'm very happy with it. For the last year I've been playing here in the Hampton Roads area with a jazz guitarist (elec.) and an electric bassist.
