On February 7th, 2009, the DrummerConnection.com Crew – Billy Ashbaugh, Joe Brewer and Eric Rosebrock set out to visit Dave Simmons – old Friend of Billy Ashbaugh and member of DrummerConnection.com as he performed his gig with KC & The Sunshine Band at Universal Studio’s Mardi Gra, 2009.

Dave was kind enough to get us access and film a drum kit tour with his stage manager / and drum tech before the show. There’s lots of good pointers and tips in here.
