From all the great throwback eps and organs in the Stage, to the unique modeling and wicked powerful sample editing of the Wave, I don't need any other equipment. Folks now know : if you hire me, you're hiring a sea of red!”- Darius Holbert, keyboardist with Everlast, ScientificLifestyle, Sophie B Hawkins, Wu Tang and DARIUSTX
