Mmm pretty ! ! . . the first time I saw GPN live it was Matt that grabbed my attention . . am still blown away by his style and what he coaxes out of a kit half (or less) the size others use with much less effect.

Do click thru to the Green Mountain site and read Matt’s profile. Nice read . . and of course a chuckle for good measure . . .
” And the drum sounds were like a warm lump crab cake. hmm, hmm, hmm. ”

Thank you for the pics TH1 . . assume there’s a recap out there too . . or will be soon . . (exits to go check . . . )

Nice to see the cymbals get dusted with baby powder! That IS baby powder right?
