My Equipment
The Tools I Use
How important is what equipment I use versus the MOST important piece of equipment in my inventory: MYSELF?
|
I have a general rule of thumb, taught to me by the great masters of the craft that I practice, that focusing on the equipment which Mobile Entertainers use is no more pertinent to the success of your event than the tools that a carpenter or a plumber might use in your home. I'm sure you don't ask what kind of implements your mechanic uses when you drop off your car. I never want to be thought of as one with a "Gadget-Based" mentality. My equipment merely enhances the talent and education that I've been given. It is my belief that any proven professional should be able to run a complete show via a battery-operated boom-box if it became necessary. Don't laugh...Believe it or not, this type of necessity has occurred to me once in my career following a terrible rainstorm which took out both my main equipment AND my backup at a posh wedding & reception in Orlando circa 2003 (Please send me the correct grammar of that last paragraph if you'd like). Although I received one of the biggest gratuities in my career that day, It was also the day I made the decision to go absolutely digital. |
But... I also realize that the most savvy person planning an event wants to feel comfort in the fact that their chosen entertainer will use the finest in state-of-the-art ultra-modern professional sound systems. This page will vouch that YES...I certainly do. If the subject is important to you whether because
then I invite you to peruse all the following information. Please note that as a full-time professional, my inventory is constantly upgrading in order to maintain the highest standards set by the American Disc Jockey Association and the DJ Industry in general. |
