GEAR
Here's a rundown of the gear I use.
DRUM WORKSHOP
This is my DW Collector Series drum kit. This kit features a twisted oyster wrap finish inspired by my favorite drummer Luke Holland. The shells are made from North American Maple Wood by Drum Workshop, which was founded in Santa Monica, California in 1972 by Chris Lombardi. The headquarters now reside in Oxnard, California.
CUSTOM SNARE DRUM
This custom snare was also made by DW and is made with maple mahogany wood featuring a black satin finish. I wanted this to be the center piece of my drum kit; therefore, I took some of my favorite bible verses and quotes to be inscribed around my snare. Several of the quotes on this snare were quotes from Luke Holland. Here is a photo of us and my snare at a show in Baltimore, Maryland.
MEINL CYMBALS
These are my Meinl Cymbals, by far the best sounding cymbals I've played on. These cymbals were made in Germany at the Meinl headquarters in Gutenstetten. My selection varies, and here is my current set up. All cymbals are Byzance except for the Pure Alloy and the Artist Concept Model: 14 Inch Dark High Hats, 10 Inch Dual Splash, 18 Inch Pure Alloy, 18 Inch Dark Crash, 19 inch Traditional Medium Thin Crash, 20 Inch Traditional Hand Hammered Crash, 22 Inch Traditional Ride, 16 Inch Traditional China, and the Artist Concept Model Luke Holland Bullet Stack.
VATER DRUMSTICKS
My go-to sticks are the Fatback 3A Wood-tip by Vater Drumsticks. Nothing feels more smooth or durable than these sticks.
REMO DRUMHEADS
My selection of heads changes often. Currently, I am using the Remo Powerstroke 3 Coated on my kick, Vintage Coated Emperors on the toms, and a Controlled Sound X on the snare with Clear Ambassadors for all the bottom heads.
64 AUDIO
I love my 64 Audio in-ear monitors. I am loyal enough to stick with a discontinued model, the V2's, but the photo shows what I am hoping to get soon: A6's custom in-ears with my custom logo on the faceplates.
Drumkubes
Founded by owner Sterling in 2017, Drum Kubes were created to be the solution to the issues of drum muffling and being able to adjust the sound of your drum without having to take the entire head off. Drum Kubes are foam muffling kubes that are available in different colors that effect the sound of the drum based on the color. I have 100 kubes inside my bass drum currently with all the different sizes.
