GEAR

 

The drums are Pearl Master Mahogany, the cymbals are Sabian Sonix, the heads are Evans, the sticks are Kit Tools JM signature model, the percussion is Meinl, the electronics are Hart Dynamics Acupads, the mics are Audix and the cases are Hardcase.

As for the set ups, they do vary from gig to gig depending on what I feel will suit the session or may be needed. Though the sizes of drums and cymbals will change from time to time, the three outfits below are the main configurations I use. The 4 pce. kit is my choice for most alternative and straight ahead groove gigs, i.e. Fuel, Aretha Franklin, Oleander, Lee Nestor. The 5 pce. kit for a bit more action, i.e. Frank Gambale, Stu Hamm, RAMA, Marillion. And The Monster is for the "all out" performances, i.e. einstein, Alice Cooper, Satriani, GTR...
