Do you take all of your own gear to a session or is a kit sourced locally, how many of the 'essentials' did you have to transport?
Gavin Says:
I contact the Sonor artist rep where the session is and they lay on a kit for me with the Remo heads on that I require.
The rep has it delivered to the studio and set up for when I arrive. I take with me a flight case full of cymbals, a flight case with a snare drum in it and my bass drum pedals. Plus I take some sticks/brushes/mallets and my little bell cymbals holder in my suite case. That usually attracts some excess baggage charge.
