Benevento Russo Duo Rig

[Poster]

I think they deserve their own thread, so we can find out what gear the duo uses.

heres a wiki snip thats helpful Benevento is best known for his stylistic playing and heavy use of effects. His constantly evolving equipment rig includes a Casio sampling keyboard and myriad effects pedals but is anchored by his Hammond organ (with bass pedalboard) and Wurlitzer electric piano. A fan of circuit bending, Marco uses a pile of circuit bent toys to create wild and warped sounds. In the spring of 2006 he added a circuit bent television that displays sound waves on the vertical line. When not playing music, Marco enjoys making T-shirts, which he has been doing for many years. Some can be found online at Tuba Sunshine

Russo's drumming is fierce and complex (he has been nicknamed \"The Madness\" by fans), even by the highest standards, and with continued exposure is likely to be recognized as a top drummer of our time. His Roland SPD-S sampler is often used for electronic drum samples which play an important role in many of the Duo's compositions, such as \"Welcome Red\", \"Becky\", and \"My Pet Goat\". Two songs appearing on \"Play Pause Stop\", \"Memphis\" and \"Powder,\" were written by Russo and feature his acoustic guitar playing.

Both Marco and Joe are outspoken fans of Maker's Mark bourbon.
