PHOTOS: Shannon Forrest's new drum kit with TOTO!

From a distance the rack and the RIMS look fine - the finish is perfect for big, well lit stage.

Shannon sounds great...

Who's playing bass for them? Not anyone I recognize...

[kinkymook]

That would be David Hungate.

That was some good shit.

Dig his fills, deceptively simple yet powerful and to the point, like Porcaro.

Tony's and Alan White's rubbery time feels make me lose my mind, what Porcaro does to solid time is ridiculous. But it seems like the songs where he does some extra crazy creative stuff, even if somewhat simple, where he really shines.

That would be David Hungate.

He looks like a baseball coach, not the bass player for Toto.


The drums do sound good though(of course they would) even though not my tuning style...

Congrats to Kelly for an incredible looking and sounding kit.

Shannon was AWESOME at The Greek Theater. The toms sounded HUGE!

Shannon's feel and vibe is SO Jeff. It was the first time in a LONG time that Toto finally sounded like Toto with Jeff.

Clips of Carlock playing with Toto also sound great, but Shannon would be my choice, along with Rodge!!!!

I think both are top-notch drummers. But out of curiosity, why do you think they chose Keith? Prefer his style, don't want someone who sounds just like Jeff, Shannon wasn't willing to tour longer term, etc.?
