I can’t say enough about the snare I’m using at the show. I use the Roland SPD-30 Octapad to trigger orchestral crash's, woodblock effects, an Electronic 808 dance type of kit, plus a remote Roland V-Drum Pad above the hi hat for tambourine and other effects during the show. It has an African/Pop core and then branches off to Rock, Latin, R&B Ballads, and Big Drum breaks. The best part of this show is all the styles you get to play. One song, ‘Can’t Wait To Be King’ has a Medium/Up Tempo Shuffle in the left hand on snare while playing up beats on the floor tom with the right hand. A few sections are great for keeping your hands up to speed. It has a lot of Peter Gabriel type ‘In Your Eyes’ grooves and some Steve Gadd types of patterns. “ Lion King is a really demanding book technically but it is also really fun to play. Carter McLean’s drum set setup for the Broadway production of Lion King currently running at the Minskoff Theatre.
