Jason Degenhardt's setup for Next To Normal at Topeka Civic Theatre, in Topeka, Kansas.

"Next To Normal is a fun and challenging book full of everything from delicate bell/vibe passages to raucous multi-meter grooves. I'm playing TreeHouse Drums, hand made in Topeka, Kansas by myself and master builder Derek Sharp.

Due to space, I've omitted the 5-note timpani part. I was lucky enough to get my hands on some vibes, and this Yamaha gold bar set is a beauty! The extended lower octave serves as a great mallet table."

Jason is a freelance drummer/percussionist in the Topeka, Kansas area where he also assists Derek Sharp in the building of TreeHouse Drums. He also has his own teaching practice called Studio 17 Percussion and is an Adjunct Music Professor at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas.

"Conducting a National Tour is incredibly challenging, but so rewarding. Stepping on to the podium with a new orchestra every few weeks really keeps you on your toes.

The Little Mermaid - Brian Kirk

"The timpani tunings are the real challenge of The Little Mermaid. Changing pitches must be done by feel, that was my biggest challenge. Memorizing the mallet parts was also very necessary."

The Little Mermaid - Alec Wilmart

"As you can see in the pictures, I prefer to have as much 'stuff' right in front of me, as close as possible. Because there are so many instruments close in, I have mounted a music stand off of the tom mount.
