and trumpet.
Anton
Fig - Marsha's Fan Site
Marsha, a long-time fan, has assembled this fan site with stuff dating back to
the NBC show. Thanks for everything, Marsha!
Kevin
Shirley
Also from the old country, Kevin is a cool producer
to work for because he knows what he wants and is decisive.
He is also one powerful mixer and can make you sound
real big in a hurry.
Chris
Spedding
Chris is a very distinctive guitarist. He has a very
spare style and sound and he plays only what is necessary.
It is always a treat to listen to him play guitar.
Chip
Taylor
Chip is a fantastic writer I have worked with over many
years. He always brings something unique to the compositions.
I am so happy to be part of his new album. His songs
are amazing!
Brian
Wilson
The man is a genius, Pet Sounds is the best - I'm at
a loss for words. I'm really glad he is out there touring
and making beautiful music.
George Wofaardt
An old friend of mine from Capetown, South Africa. He plays the bass and writes and his site is worth checking out!
Warren
Zevon
One
of the coolest writers on the planet. Doing his new
record was great - I can't wait for it to be released
[due in May 2002] All his songs are classics.
Equipment

Vic
Firth
Vic was my classical percussion teacher at the New England
Conservatory of Music and he inspired me to work hard for
him.. He now also makes my signature model sticks. A great
role model, dynamic tympanist, teacher and entrepeneur.
Check
out the RealAudio
interview Anton did on Vic's site; includes photos,
bio and more!
Masterdisk
I mastered my record at Masterdisk in NYC. Leon Zervos
added subtle and significant improvements to my final
mixes and unified the whole project. I could not have
been more pleased with the final results!
The
Original Drumscreen
"The Drum Screen is used as a free standing and portable
'isolation booth'. Crafted by experienced technicians
it is constructed of high tech acrylic plastics and simple
connectors for ease of assembly and takedown."
Remo
"Try a Remo CS batter on my Yamaha snare [ie black
dot on the underside of an Ambassador] - it sounds great.
I use Coated Ambassadors on the toms on Powerstroke 3
on the bass drum. All superior and great sounding heads."
Yamaha
I've been with Yamaha since about '87. They make quality
drums and I'm proud to be associated with them.
Zildjian
I have been with Zildjian since the late 70's. They make
incredible cymbals - for any occasion - and they keep
getting better. I am very happy to be part of their extended
family.
Spike
Recording
"Spike is a cool place to make music. Matt Chiaravalle
knows his equipment inside and out, and his willingness
to experiment with the artists ideas keeps me coming back."
