[@jairomoreno2897]

What a rhythm section! And Moreno burns here.

[@richpeace9732]

Now that's the way drums should be played, subtle dynamics but intense, smooth tasty ride cymbal, allows Moreno to really settle in on his lines- Bravo!

[@grantshimizu5020]

Great playing by all. Moreno is untouchable.

[@benjaminbyrd5568]

By whom?

[@runrunrun6777]

Spectacular performance. It's always great to hear a drummer who's actually listening and using dynamics.

[@yolandasolanoestrada7731]

Rashifal

[@mlejazz]

I'm not sure but I think this is a Alesis Reverb ;-)

[@hernannieto1]

maybe lexicon lxp 1 ? also used by kurt in his 1st record, I think, popular between modern jazz cats

[@felipearevalotresero5864]

Saludos papá, un abrazo desde Suiza. Nos conocimos en Bayamo .

[@brendanodonnell3433]

Does anyone know what that that preamp box thing is on top of Moreno's amp?

[@Sandemose]

Ruchaforte (I think its called). He builds amps as well. Mike uses those as well.

[@beccakachman]

@@Sandemose i think this is pre-rocaforte

[@Sandemose]

​@@beccakachman you re probably right. Its a reverb unit on that Mesa Boogie amp?

[@beccakachman]

@@Sandemose yeah. also, the mesa! i think it's sick, i love my mesa despite it's unrelenting punchyness
