arsenal of sounds and colors. These drums have fire, and speak
with a voice of warmth, soul, and sensitivity.  Every time I play

    "When King Crimson  took a break around 1996 I went on
the search for  new Crimson colors. One search was for the
old Italian Timpani pedal floor  tom toms I had played years ago.
I heard  the legendary Emil Richards might have one in his  vast
array of unique percussion  instruments,   but instead  I saw
one of Brad's pedal drums and knew I had to have it.  It was the
perfect earthy gulping tom I had dreamed of playing in a trap kit
and it  help provide a  distinct contrast to conventional toms.
When Crimson returned to tour Europe  &  North America,  the
last tours of the KC double trio,  I took Brad's beast around the
world and in another strange case of syncronicity,  Bill Bruford
also arrived for those tours with a pedal drum. . .the old Italian
Timpani  pedal floor tom. You can hear Brads beast on
'Vrooom Vrooom' by King Crimson."

    "The Talkit drum adds an earthy dimension to my set up. The
fact that I can have this sound with the use of sticks and still play
the rest of my kit in a normal fashion is totally hip."
