The Derek Trucks Band

The Derek Trucks Band has been a work in progress for over 10 years, blending jazz, rock, blues, Latin, Eastern Indian, and other world music into the sound that now defines the DTB. The band’s mission has been to assemble a group of musicians that share a passion for improvisation and musical exploration, and to develop a united musical vision by performing with this core group of players for an extended period of time.
Derek was looking for an LD to come in and add some visual consistancy to his shows. Prior to Preston Hoffman's involvement, the band was at the mercy of the house LD whereever they played. The trick was to bring a lighting system that was small and compact as it had to fit in a small, tow-behind trailer shared with the rest of the band gear. Despite this space restriction, Pulse was able to offer a nice system of 10 moving lights and several LEDs. This compact rig offered just enough visual impact without overwhelming the intricate music on stage. test
