BIG ED & THE TWINS. THE Jeff Wood, drummer man, introduced Big Ed and the twins to me when we first started rehersals for the UK back in January. We were going over the song "None of the Above". Woody smiled and said, "I know what this song needs!", and before I knew what happened, Big Ed and the twins had stolen my heart. It put the song right where it should be; cracked the whip and put'em in line. Big Ed is a big silver metal shaker. It's about 6 inches long with quite a bit of girth. The twins are 2 black egg shaped shakers that have been glued side by side underneath and to the back side of Big Ed (gettin' a picture yet?). Woody grabs Big Ed by the shaft and really works his wrist to the rhythm of the music... it's a beautiful thing! Use your imagination. Bid Ed and the twins are everything you could ever hope for in percusion. Take care. Later, Butch
