Jim Reif’s drum set setup for Dreamgirls at the Village Theater in Seattle, Washington.
Jim's write-up below photos.
"I’m having a blast playing this show. It is mostly non-stop Motown R&B, Disco and ballads. One thing that is key is the hi-hat work. A great sounding set of hats is important. This show has tons of 16th note hi-hat at various tempos. In the first act there are numerous numbers that are connected with a 16th note hi-hat pattern as underscore.
The fun never stops and the train keeps on moving."
