Gear Head Central

Everywhere I perform, someone always comes up to me after a show and asks me about my gear. So for all you gear heads, here is a list of my equipment. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Depending on the size and other characteristics of the particular venue we are playig in, I alternate between electronic or acoustic drums. Not all of this gear will be used at the same time for one particular show or another.  One positive thing about not having any major endorsement deals yet is that I am not bound to any one equipment manufacturer, I can pick and choose what I feel is the best of the best  to use for my particular needs. 

 

To start with, no matter what kit I am playing I always use Vater "Studio" model drum sticks (wood tip).  On the acoustic drums I use Evans 360 heads all the way around.
