Steve Fruda is a widely known veteran of the New York music scene as the drummer for The Eleven...(formerly known as The Elements). The band has a heavy presence in New York City, on the East Coast, and they also have performed internationally. I have never got to see them live, but have watched many video clips of them, and they are amazing. The talent in this band is from A-Z....
Steve started out using a 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 years ago, and since that time he has added a 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 12, 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 13, and most recently a 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 10.
His set-ups are as unique as his kits, and they are tailored to the music for the evening. He is planning on using the 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 10 with his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 13, or combining his 1.5 Steel-- 5.5 x 12 with his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14. One of Steve kits was also featured in Modern Drummer as Kit Of The Month in 2017. His "Compact Clubber" was the feature, and is a Premier Heritage. Link below to the article.
Thank You Steve Fruda for everything. Live music will come back huge, and so will the number of performance dates for The Eleven. I certainly hope I can attend one of those dates when live music resumes.....!
