Gaza's third full-length album, No Absolutes in Human Suffering (Black Market Activities/Deathwish), will be in-stores on August 28th and is available digitally now. You can stream it here. They will be touring extensively with announcements soon to come.

From drummer Casey Hansen: "Music is about so much more than chops, notes on a sheet, or how elaborate your gear is. They are tools, a means to an end. There are a lot of musicians out there that lose sight of what it's all supposed to ultimately be about: FEELING.

My approach (and Gaza's) is to use whatever means necessary to achieve that end. I am an arm to an entity, and luckily for me, I am given a lot to work with.

Casey's Gear:

DW Finish Ply bass drum 20" x 24" and toms 10" x 13" and 16" x16"
Ludwig Black Magic snare 6.5" x 14" live and God City Instruments Titanium snare 7" x 13" in the studio
Sabian HHX 14" hi-hats (stage bottom, Evolution top), 19" and 20" crashes (usually Sabian AAXplosions, sometimes a Zildjian A Custom in the mix), Zildjian Z Custom Mega Bell Ride (21", 2nd generation)
Pearl Eliminator double pedal
Evans ST snare head, coated G2's for toms, and EQ3 bass drum head (generally)
2B drumsticks

Pardon my brevity, but I hope the music I help create says more than words can. It's also not often I'm provided a pedestal like this. My thanks to Sick Drummer for that."
