For the Gearheads
Sonar, DW, and Tempus Drums

I use 2 setups depending on where I am in the world. Here are the specs for all you gearheads out there. All my kits have Evans coated heads. On the snare drum I use a 32 strand snare and a ST Dry head. It’s strong and sounds great. The toms and kick have G2 heads. My sticks are Vic Firth 5AN.  I use a mix of Zildjian and Paiste cymbals. The high hats are 14” Paiste Rude or 14” Signature Sound Edge. My Tempus snare is a 14x6.5 Red Sparkle Carbon Fiber beauty. I have it tuned fairly tight for that resonant crack and I get just the right response when I play a bit quieter.  This snare has it all.
