Triangle man, triangle man, triangle man hates particle man. They have a fight, triangle wins, triangle man – They Might Be Giants

This is my rig for Prokofiev’s Scythian Suite at the Saint Louis Symphony. The dangler on the left is Black Swamp 8″ Artisan and the one on the right (and on the table) is a lovely Grover Bronze Pro Hammered 6″. The Black Swamp is for the heavy lifting of cutting through a large orchestra (with nine percussionists) and the Grover is for shimmer in the soloistic passages. I double up for the loud rolls at the beginning and the end. Also note that it’s not a reversed image; I play lefty and have the triangle openings on the right side.
