Awesome man, use 57s to mic the upper kit with?


Thank you, sir. Actually, the pic of the turquoise kit was taken (not by me) before a gig at Chelsea's in 2014; the mics belong to the club. Each time I've played there, I think they've used a 57 on the snare, but they use some other brand for toms and floors. I forget. Sennheisers, maybe?

I own my own set of drum mics (Shure Beta 52 for kick, Audix D2s for toms and D4s for floors, 57 for snare and two old beat-up early-'90s Audio Technica AT-3525s for overheads) but I haven't had to use them in years...

I'm using the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier now, and a bogner 4x12 Uberkab.

I had used the Mark IV & 5150. Was thinking about going with an Orange 4x12 cab. Not all vintage 30 spears are the same just because theyre called vintage 30. Some are made in china, some in Europe. Europe obviously makes great speakers, you'd want those. And IMO, bogner makes the best cab and speaker combo. Wood is top quality as well.

My bedroom setup

My main rig is a Egnater Renegade and an '81 Marshall JCM 800 through a closed back Orange 4x12 + Gibson SG, but that stays at the practice space

Bet that orange 4x12 is heavy to move around too.

Kit at the practice space all cymbaled out. Met Tommy Lee through a mutual friend and he gave me a shitload of cymbals. I took this picture with all of them in it to send him in a thank you. Normal setup is hats, ride, and two crashes or my big crash (20" A Custom) and china.

Gretsch Catalina Maple
Coated Emperor batters and ambassador resos. Sanded and sealed the interiors.
Gretsch Taylor Hawkins Signature Snare (or Gretsch Legend Brass snare) Emperor X or powerstroke batters/ambassador snare resos
15" K Custom Light hats
21" Sweet Ride (or 20"...markings are off and I forgot)
20" A Custom Crash
17" K Custom Hybrid Crash
Iron Cobra kick pedal
DW 9000 hat pedal (gift from Tommy, no way I would pay that much for one )

Depending on what I'm playing, I rotate
18" A Custom EFX
20" K Custom Dark Thin Crash (sounds great no matter how you hit it. Tommy used it in the show I went to)
15" Trashformer
10" or something A Custom Splash
Couple other K Custom and A Custom cymbals. Mostly K Customs. Love the hybrids.



Not my personal guitar but looks pretty similar minus the cracks and shite in the guard and mine isn't AS nicked up.

1962 Strat

There are a few posters in here I think it'd be fun to jam with.

But just getting random people together and playing isn't as easy as it sounds for many reasons.
