I am currently using a black Slingerland drum kit consisting of :

  • One 22’’ bass drum driven by a Gilbraltar double pedal (the Intruder) with felt covered wooden beaters.
  • Slingerland metal 5’’ snare drum
  • 8”, 10”, 13”, 14” and 17” toms
  • Two cowbells
  • 18” Zildjian crash cymbal
  • 18” Zildjian crash/ride cymbal
  • 18” Paiste crash/ride cymbal
  • 22” Zildjian ride cymbal
  • 10” Instanbul Splash rock cymbal
  • 14” Zildjian hi-hat cymbals

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……..
