Here is the ultra-compact drum setup I used for the Singapore Tap Fest 2025! Come hang out with me as I prep for the gig and break down the "Tiny Kit" rig I built for small stages. In this vlog, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my gig prep for the Singapore Tap Fest. Since space was tight and the vibe was intimate, I needed a setup that was portable but still packed a punch. It was an incredible honor to share the stage and jam with world-class tap legends Sarah Reich, Jesse Rasmussen, and Kazunori Kumagai. Check out the highlights from the jam and see how we blend live percussion with their rhythmic mastery. I’ll walk you through my full loadout—from my choice of shells to the specific cymbals that blend perfectly with tap dancers. If you are a gigging drummer looking for a lightweight solution for cafes and small venues, this is the rig you might want to see.

About This Video

For Singapore Tap Fest 2025, I had to build a “tiny kit” that could survive a small stage, stay portable, and still sound like a real drum set. In this vlog-style behind-the-scenes, I walk you through what I packed, why I chose each piece, and how I made the setup work for an intimate tap-dance concert with a small jazz band. You’ll see my compact hardware choices (like the Tama lightweight hi-hat stand and folding kick pedal), my cymbal strategy to save weight, and the little quality-of-life things that make gigging easier—like the fold-flat trolley that saved my back. I also share what it’s actually like playing with world-class tap artists like Sarah Reich, Jesse Rasmussen, and Kazunori Kumagai—where tap is basically another instrument (and honestly, the main event). That means being sensitive, not overplaying, and adapting fast because arrangements change even during run-throughs. I talk about why sight reading is a real “tools of the trade” skill for working musicians, and how a cheap wireless page turner helped me keep up with charts while still playing musically. If you’re a gigging drummer looking for a lightweight cafĂ©/small-venue rig that still packs a punch, this is exactly the kind of setup I’d recommend checking out.
