Part Two
Samantha is currently working with Brother Clyde. She has also performed with Shift, Hole, Motley Crue, Eagle of Death Metal, Peaches, The Crystal Method, and Chelsea Girls.
She chose a Gibraltar rack because of the quality of the brand and she will not need to worry now about cymbal placement. And her drum tech will love it too!
Her advice for aspiring musicians: Learn your rudiments. Learn how to read music. Practice to your favorite album. Wear earplugs!!
Kevin Hastings‘s keyboard stand is a triple tier double-sided rack that holds his Korg M3 keyboard at a wild angle to fit his playing style. It was designed and built by Gibraltar’s rack team consisting of Mark Moralez and Brent Barnett.
