back to drum kits home

A list of some of my other gear/equipment/instruments

Ludwig Vintage (i guess) Blue Sparkle kit: 20"x24" bass drum, 18"x16" floor tom, 5.5"x 14" aluminum snare... the rack tom is lost to the ages but it was a 10"x13" i think.

Set of Remo rototoms in 10", 8", and 6"

Set of Star percussion bongos in red sparkle wrap

Brass snare drum 6.5"x14" brand and origin totally unknown

Small cowhide drum

Large african "tree trunk" goatskin drum

Claves

Painted gourd maracas

Turtle shaped guiro/woodblock

Pear shaped shaker

Small LP Cabasa

Peavey 14" hihats and 18" crash/ride

Cracked Zildjian Z custom 16" crash that im thinking about cutting the bell out of to see if it will work on its own.

A mixture of yamaha, gibraltar, lp, tama, dw, pacific, mapex, cb, and ludwig hardware from all parts of the known universe and all ages possible.

Ibanez Destroyer guitar 1980's version

Fender Frontman 30w practice amp

more to come for sure...

The secret to my celebrated live bass drum sound which is often mistaken for triggered, but is totally acoustic:

Remo Falams Slam patch on a single ply coated batter head, with an Aquarian resonant head with built-in internal foam dampening, on a 20" drum with a bath robe inside used to muffle the batter head only. batter side tuned medium low and resonant head tuned as low as possible without the lug nuts coming undone while playing. hit with rubber beaters.
