Adam Wolfe's setup for the Off Broadway production of Bunty Berman Presents at The Acorn Theatre in New York City.

“My book for Bunty Berman Presents is very straight ahead. The concept for the show is sort of Singin' in the Rain meets Bollywood, so I’ve got a very traditional kind of drum set, flanked by an electronic pad and the (mostly) usual toys.

I’m using an old set of Slingerland’s from the mid 70’s (13” Small Tom, 16” Floor Tom, and 20” Bass Drum) and a chrome-over-brass ‘Big R’-era Rogers Dynasonic snare drum with Remo Vintage A’s on the snare and toms and a Remo Coated Powerstroke 4 on the kick.

With such a small amount of space, I found it necessary to build up quite a bit, hence the wall of cymbals and toys on my right hand side. The triangle is used for only one solitary note in the opening number of the show and then never again. Of course, this note happens in the middle of bright two-beat playing, so the Miller Machine is, as always, indispensable."

"Setting Up a New Broadway Percussion Book" by Bill Hayes

"When preparing a percussion book for a new Broadway show, we occasionally get the music in advance. That allows us to start our “treasure hunt” early, to have the right sounds ready, and to get a jump on the setup. But often, Broadway is the first appearance of the fully orchestrated show, and we have seen very little before the first rehearsal."

"My Experiences Recording a Broadway Cast Album" by Jared Schonig

"The musical experience of recording a Broadway cast album ranges from easy to difficult depending on the circumstances. I find that the two factors that contribute most to the quality of the experience are: 1) how good the band is; and 2) how soon after you started the show you record the album"
