covered wooden beaters.
- Slingerland metal
5 snare drum
- 8, 10, 13,
14 and 17 toms

I play with Dave
Weckl signature sticks. Drum skins are Aquarian. In addition, I
use Audio-Technica drum microphones on the toms and snare, but use
the Alesis D4 with trigger to mic up the bass drum. I feel that the
Alesis gives me more options when it comes to bass drum sounds than
a microphone. I do not like to use triggers on the other drums as it
limits your dynamic range and feel when playing. Microphones are a much
better option.
My influences on the
drums are many, such as :
- Dave Weckl (how
did you guess?)
- Simon Phillips
- Jeff Porcaro
- Terry Bozzio
- Don Brewer (I
think he drummed the most melodic drum solo ever with TNUC)
- Ian Paice
- John Bonham
- Dave Holland
(Trapeze)
And many more
