Gotham Percussion on stage with LA music award winners Curtis Murphy Syndicate. Gotham provided a couple drums from our beautiful top of the line DW kit for this show. The 22, 12, 16 configuration worked best and along with our black beauty snare and Istanbul AGOP cymbals, Curtis and his band rocked the house hard all night long! Check out a picture of the kit in action HERE.

Gotham Percussion in Bennett Studios with R&B great Bernard Davis on drums, providing some snares for a session with Noah Levi. A DW 6x14 Vintage Maple proves to be the winner that day (but it's hard to make any drum sound bad with that drummer in that room).
11.29.07
In session with drummer Dylan Wissing and producer Ken Lewis for a sample recreation for Rowdy/Capitol Records artist Novel. Gotham provided a mountain of vintage snares and cymbals. The track is "Wild West" - have a listen to the end results.
