For both studio and live engagements, I offer a variety of drumsets, snare drums, and cymbal
options to tailor the drum sound to the artist's personal vision. I can recommend
the specific instruments that are particularly well-suited to certain musical styles, or bring multiple options from which
to choose.

DW maple-shell drumset (natural maple finish with brass hardware)
toms:
8", 10", 12", 14", 16"
bass: 22"
ideal for rock, pop, studio, all-around
-- my primary drumset
DW birch-shell drumset (natural birch finish with gold hardware)
toms: 10", 12", 14"
bass: 20"
slightly
smaller dimensions and different tone than the maple kit
Jackson Drums custom 28" bass drum (natural maple finish with brass hardware)
works well in
conjunction with the DW toms, both sonically & visually
huge
bass drum sound for special applications
Joe Cusatis (Modern Drum Shop) custom jazz-sized set (cherrywood
finish)
toms: 10", 12", 14"
bass: 18"
not just for jazz, great for smaller venues or lower-volume situations
Joe Cusatis (Modern Drum Shop) custom mini-kit (walnut finish)
toms: 10", 13"
bass: 16"
unbelievably big sound with an unbelievably small footprint, my favorite for small clubs
Ludwig vintage mid-1970's drumset (silver sparkle finish)
toms: 12", 16"
bass: 20"
a
fun option for blues gigs or whenever a retro look is in order
custom 3/8" stainless steel shell, 5-1/2" x 14" (by Mark Ross Percussion)
unbelievable crack and power, simply the world's best rock snare
custom solid oak stave shell, 6-1/2" x 13" (joint venture by Head Drums and Magstar Drums)
round, woody tone but still crisp & articulate, with a very wide dynamic range from subtle
to aggressive
custom mahogany/spruce shell, 5" x 14" (by Magstar Drums)
gorgeous rich, warm tone but still clean and articulate, a favorite for jazz and lower-volume gigs
custom 3/8" solid aluminum shell, 5-1/2" x 14" (by Potyondi Drums)
the clarity of a thick metal shell with a little less edge than steel
vintage Slingerland 5-1/2" x 14" Buddy Rich model (early-1970's)
a classic model with a great, well-balanced sound, still one of my favorites
DW brass shell piccolo, 4" x 14" with die-cast brass hoops
for a tight, higher-pitched sound
Tama steel shell piccolo, 3-1/2" x 13"
the highest voice in the arsenal, a great alternate snare sound
