Cymbals

I play Paiste Cymbals, and use any combination of:

• Formula 602 (Classic & Modern Essentials)
• 2002
• Masters

Drums

I have played all sorts of drums, from companies such as Pearl, Slingerland, Premier, Tama, Yamaha, Gretsch, and Ludwig. They all make great drums with the main differences being the hardware. Sometimes I like to have the toms mounted directly to the shell, and other times I prefer suspension mounts.

I play with Vater sticks and brushes.

All my drums are outfitted with Remo heads (Coated or Clear Ambassadors or even Black Dots).

Recording

When I handle the recording myself, I use a Roland Studio Capture with Cakewalk and mic things with Audix microphones.
