Set up
A: Acoustic set - 15" and 10" Djembes, Congas, Wood Block, Bass Drum, Splash Cymbol
B: Main Drum Kit with Gong
C: Jazz Drum Kit with cow bell rack.

A was by itself, B and C were setup next to each other in a giant arc, allowing Adrian to play parts of both from one possition. Setlist is written as Kit used (A) (B) (C), followed by duration, followed by the name Adrian had on his setlist. With the exception of GSOT, these are all improvisations. The names were just notes on the style, names in parenthasis are my own notes on the stlye.

wheres the 6/8 time?

good catch. The first song in set 2 started in 6/8, but switched to 4/4 after only a few minutes. I had used the name and then deleted it, and forgot to put it back in the unused list. I don\'t think there was a full 6/8 piece.

Wasn\'t keeping time like I usally do. Obviously due to a face-melting performance by Adrian.

I have never seen or heard anything like that EVER!!! The opener on the percussion kit for set 2 was awe-inspiring...I hope he brings more of that stuff on stage with him at tB shows...esp. that wood block thingy. I volunteer to help him lug that crap to all their shows if need be.

Walsh, couldn\'t agree with you more. After watching Animal attack those drums, I realized that he has yet to reach his full potential behind that kit. Maybe soon they will be able to bring in more drums and percussion, a whole new level of breakfast.

"A" was awesome indeed.
I also liked that sharp popping of the cow bell rack on "C"

Can\'t wait for my brother to listen to this...he plays kit, congas, and djembe.

Nice new signature, Ant-Man.
