Drums

I play Gretsch USA Custom drums in Dark Walnut Gloss Lacquer finish. The sizes are:

  • 12" x 8" mounted tom
  • 13" x 9" mounted tom
  • 14" x 14" floor tom
  • 22" x 16" bass drum
  • 14" x 6.5" 20 split-lug snare drum

I also play Ludwig snare drums:

  • 14" x 6.5" chrome over brass with tube lugs
  • 14" x 5" hand-hammered bronze with imperial lugs

On these drums, I use Remo heads. Clear or coated ambassadors, or clear or coated Controlled Sound (clear dot).

Sticks I use are Vater 5B wood tip.

My cymbals are made by Sabian:

I record with the BOSS BR-1600 Digital Recording Studio which is a stand-alone hard-drive recorder with built-in CD writer etc. Quite nice, and extremely portable.
