Prefered Performance at:
No required PA system for about 300 people space. And not need power outlet.
I prefer performing by ACOUSTIC as possible.

Nice acoustic, quiet, focused room and respectable audience, places Like concert halls, Art museums or galleries.

But I can(will try) play almost any situation which I have done quite diverse situations for many years and has huge experiences, but I prefer nice place.

I usually suggest people to "NICE ACOUSTIC" place is like, "contrabass or cello sounds good without PA system". Sometime, the best acoustic can be-polished concrete floor+high soft wood ceiling, or maybe wood floor with nice ceiling texture... plus depends what side wall is. Also, I sometime experiences nice concert hall has problem with sound of air conditioning system or lighting module...... difficult to say what is the best.......

Set Up: Photo above I called mid sized setting. Below is larger setting. Depends on stage size and time. Large setting need about 45 minutes to set up, perform, then an another 45 minutes to pack up.

Program and Performance Length: Usually less than 1 hour and prefer to do only 1 set. Often I combine with artist talk(Q&A session) after the performance set for public perfrormance like museums and universities.

In domestic USA, Canada and Mexico region: I can drive to the palce with all of my gear while I am on the road.

Fly-IN and Overseas(mid-set up only):

Bass Drum (Smaller and has coated skin, Longer sustain sound like jazz drum, no pinstripe)
Floor tom (three legged 14 or 16" tom, I will attached my own head on it)

2X Cymbal stand (straight prefer)
Drum stool (simple one, circle top part only, no motor bike seat looking one)
Prefer brand like Sonor of Gretch.
