Cymbals TRX Cymbals (core setup): 21" DRK ride 19" MDM crash or 19" ICON medium crash 14" MDM hi-hats 13" DRK/BRT hi-hats or 12" MDM hi-hats 18" MDM crash or 18" ICON medium crash 19" LTD custom chinese In addition, I also utilize: 20" MDM ride 18" DRK flat ride 16" ALT chinese 15" MDM hi-hats 'stack' cymbal: 14" ICON stacker (top) / 16" ALT chinese (bottom) 8" BRT splash Drumheads I play Remo drumheads by choice, a rather strong preference of mine. This list -- especially -- evolves, but these are some of my favorites: tom-toms: clear Emperor or coated Emperor / clear Ambassador snare drums: Controlled Sound or Black X / Ambassador snare-side bass drums: usually clear Powerstroke III (with a double mini Falam Slam) but I've also used coated PS3 and coated Emperor / logo head or Powerstroke III Ebony (resonant head is usually ported and there's a bit of 'stuffing' inside of the drum) I tune my drums depending on the genre of music that I'm recording. I try to match the pitch of each lug, and -- generally -- the overall tuning of both the batter and resonant heads for maximum resonance. I control said resonance with a sliver or two of Moon Gel on each drum. Drumsticks My main sticks are a trade off between Vic Firth MS4 'Magnum' Corpsmasters and the Ralph Hardimon SRH2 'Hammer' Corpsmasters (whichever is cheaper and/or in stock!); I've also used Pro-Mark drumstick/mallet combos, Hot Rods and wire brushes for sessions. Bass Drum Pedals (specific settings, etc.) I play the Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive P3002D double pedal in the longboard configuration. My spring tension is maxed out with the 'power' and 'light' settings engaged. I utilize Pearl QuadBeaters (either the plastic or felt side, depending on the music) and they rest about six inches from the head -- hitting close to the center of a 20" bass drum -- with the BW100 beater weights attached at the top of the shaft (only the main body, the black and silver add-on weights are left off).
