As
with all good drumming web sites people want to know equipment choices and setups.
So not to disappoint here are the ones I'm using at present.
Setup
1 is for smaller venues for jazz and big band gigs. On occassion cymbal 4 is
taken away and replaced with cymbal 2.

Custom Bass Drum.
B=
14" by 51/2" Yamaha Maple Custom snare with Pure Sound Snares.
C=
10" Maple Custom Tom
D=
15" Maple Custom Tom
1=
20" Sabian AAX Dry Ride

Setup
2 is for bigger venues and greater setup space. My favourite of all as it allows
me greater freedom around the kit . I always feel most at home on this one.

Setup
