My Novation Launchkey's velocity pads are a great use in triggering and drum programming, and the parameter knobs are quite useful for staying in the workflow.

The Behringer UMC-202HD audio interface is a great tool for tracking and recording vocals, bass, and guitar.
Many sci-fi sounds have been made with this little box.

This is one of my favorite pieces of gear, it's a Yamaha Clavinova with so many synth sounds ! It has been instrumental (buh dum tss) to bringing life to many of my compositions.

When I was 16 years old, my old band director offered me a cheap bass guitar. He was trying to start a jazz band and figured the marching band's tuba player was the best guy to fill the bass role. Sixty dollars later I had a bass, and I was never the same again. I've had this Washburn Bantam for any years and it has changed greatly since this first photograph of it.
