It’s always a pleasure to play on a double bass drumset. This SQ1 setup is similar to the first Sonor kit that I bought in 1977: two bass drums, a snare drum, three rack toms and two floor toms. For this solo, I orchestrated various Indian rhythms on the kit and then added two tracks of unison Konnakol. This unique rhythm language developed in South India over hundreds of years. I studied Konnakol to expand my rhythmic knowledge.
The groove I played after the Konnakol section is loosely based on John Bonham’s drum part in “Good Times, Bad Times,” which blew me away when I first heard it in 1969!
The Sonor Satin Copper Brown SQ1 drum kit setup, made of 100% European Birch, was easy to tune and achieved a big melodic, sonorous sound.
