The Flood — Drums & Bass
The Flood is the rhythm section behind Gerbman: Dick Sol on drums and Johan Bravenboer on bass. This page collects the gear that gives the trio its drive, low end, groove and live stage feel.
Groove, Weight and Stage Power
Gerbman's guitar tone is the lead voice, but it only comes alive on stage when the rhythm section carries it. The Flood is built on feel and timing. Dick Sol's drums give the band weight and clarity. Johan Bravenboer's bass gives the trio a warm, dynamic low end that connects directly to the kick.
Together they make Gerbman & Blues Flood feel like a band, not a backing track. Strong pocket, room to breathe, and the kind of live energy that makes a blues song move.
Dick Sol's stage-ready drum setup combines a TAMA Molten Lava Burst kit, Zildjian A Custom and Z Custom cymbals, multiple 14" snare voices, a Tama Speed Cobra double pedal and AKG drum microphones.
