Rob Holinaty’s combined book for Curtains at the Drury Lane Theatre in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.

Rob Holinaty’s combined book for Curtains at the Drury Lane Theatre in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.

"The drum book for Curtains usually does not require the extended set up that I am using, however, I am also covering as much of the percussion book as possible in order to reduce the size of the pit. With this in mind, I am running a microKORG as a MIDI controller through my MacBook Pro into MainStage, which has a number of mallet percussion instruments programmed into it as well as a Yamaha DTX-MULTI 12 for the timpani parts.

This show was one that I hadn't heard of before being hired for it, but I have found it to be a lot of fun. There’s enough playing in the percussion books to keep both players interested, and combining the two together creates a full show that keeps me very occupied and invested in the show."

"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"
