Gonz Signature Series Amber Starlite Kit

"Bleed" Recording Session at Trod Nossel Studios

My name is Gonz and I am the drummer for one of the most highly respected, All Original Hard Rock/Riff acts in CT called INK (http://www.inkmusic.net). This Power Trio has performed for crowds at such legendary venues as Toads Place,CBGB's,Arlene's Grocery,The Continental, Tuxedo Junction, Webster Theatre and have supported such National recording Artists as Living Colour, L.A. Guns, Gilby Clarke of Guns 'n' Roses/SuperNova, Quiet Riot, Bang Tango, Beautiful Creatures and Murphy's Law with rave reviews. INK has received critical praise from the likes of Sony Music, Columbia Records and Virgin Records to name a few, with a reputation of creating it's own music genre. Check INK out on the web at http://www.inkmusic.net for Concert dates/Music/Images Etc.

These drums are KILLER to say the least! Not only acoustically perfect, but aesthetically perfect as well. The snare drum has amazing attack and an awesome rim shot. The Toms are warm and have great punch and sustain and the Kick drum delivers a controlled bottom end, for that perfect sound that I have been searching for !

My Amber Kit sizes are the following:

22x18 Kick
14x5.5 Snare
13x9 Rack Tom
16x16 Floor Tom

I also aquired a killer 14x7 snare that has nice custom finish to it. Clear acrylic with metal confetti within the acrylic (looks like cracked glass under the stage lights) with all black hardware. Romano and I just recently dubbed this color "MoonDust". Check
out the photo on my profile of this masterpiece.

I currently use all A. Zildjian Cymbals with the exception of one 18" Wuhan China Type:

14" New Beat Hi-Hats
6" Splash
8" Splash
10" Splash
16" Medium-Thin Crash
18" Medium-Thin Crash
14" Mini China
18" China Boy High
18" Wuhan China Type
20" Ping Ride

Rock and Roll!
Gonz from INK

Testimonial from Chief Engineer/Producer Brendan Muldowney from The Carriage House Studios/Trod Nossel Studios

"I've recorded many drum kits in my time and I can say that Gonz from INK's kit is truly remarkable. The resonance and tone that the drums naturally produce made my job easy! Not to mention the floor tom sounds like a howitzer!!"

Hey Buddy,
Do you know of any decent motels in the area?
Are you in the Hartford area?
I looked into some, but had bad reviews.
Unless I pay $100 up a night.
I would come in Fri. pm or Sat am and fly out on the Mon after the show.
Trying to get a figure of expenses.
Air is under $200 if I fly out of Cedar Rapids, IA
Haven't checked Madison tho
Hoping the wife won't throw a fit.
You know women..........
Rock on,
Steve
