Van Romaine stopped by the Toca recording studio to demonstrate several
of Toca's drum set add
ons. Currently on tour with Enrique Iglesias and
Steve Morse, Van finds it easy to incorporate the instruments into his
set up without having to reconfigure his kit. He works with a variety
of artists and uses percussion to add sound and texture. Some of his
favorite add ons include Jingle
Snare,Jingle
Hit,Static Whip and Mini
Timbales.
Van Romaine's drumming first burst on the scene with the critically
acclaimed Southern Steel, which was Steve Morse's first release with
his new trio featuring Van and Dave La Rue on bass back in 1990. It
won guitar album of the year in Guitar Player Magazine and would be
the first of many recordings by the trio. In addition to Van's high
visibility with the Steve Morse Band, he's keeps quite busy playing with
a wide array of other notable artists.
