When I first saw Gary Huband's drumset via performances of his work with level 42, his tom arrangement intriqued me. At that time it was an idea I was also experimenting with but did not have a voluminous supply of toms nor the money to buy them. Practically this arrangment is redundant and unnecessary. Visually however, it's cool! Here is a video of him on Youtube (Turn down the Imeem music player in the sidebar first):
Gary Husband is an English jazz and rock drummer and composer who performs with artists such as Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Level 42 and Jack Bruce among many others. He initially trained as a classical pianist and is accomplished as a jazz instrumentalist.
