I think I need to put my old Tama set back together, as it's bigger and louder. It's just so damn filthy!

 

Pedals:  Can't remember what brand. I break 'em pretty frequently so there's always a new type I'm trying that I hope will last, but they never do! Haha! 

 

Triggers / Microphones:  

 

No triggers, no samples, no click tracks, no crutches, just drums! No mics in particular. I only have my drums mic'd in the recording studio or at a live gig. I play hard and loud and have no problem being heard in the rehearsal room. Boom! Bang! Crash!

 

Studio Tips:

 

I try to fuck up as little as possible! Hah!

 

Drummer Comments:

 

God, what pathetic answers I've been giving! Sorry, I'm just not a gear nut. I just like to beat the shit out of the drums and make it sound interesting to myself and maybe even others on a good day. However, if anyone out there wants to hook me up with free gear, I can learn what all those shiny little parts are and talk about them in great detail.. Hhhmmmm....
