EQUIPMENT

I literally could create a 5 piece band out of all the high end equipment I own. I live in an apartment so I haven’t set anything up in a while. Lately I use my daw to make music. I was taught drums by the former Detroit symphony orchestra drummer, he was my teacher. My grandpa is in the rock and roll hall of fame. My father and uncles have all been in bands as well. Also i own a gretsch drum set that used to be played by the colorado symphony. I recently bought a gibson les paul, need to stop. Also, it's funny to see someones music list and it's all women, come on man this is a music site.
