I use a self-built kit made up out of 5-ply maple shells (kick drum 7-ply), with a finish I call "Combustion Residue Satin Oil". I use S-Hoops on all my drums. I mix and match the drums and cymbals to fit the various gigs I do. But the basic setup is as follows:

- 22"x18" kick (w/ Audix D6 microphone built in)
- 10"x8" tom*
- 12"x10" tom*
- 14"x14" floor tom
- 16"x16" floor tom
- snare (varies a lot, see below)
*very common is a setup with only one tomtom (either 10" or 12")

Sabian HHX cymbals: 14" Stage Hats, 21" Dry Ride, 18" HHXtreme Crash, 18" Studio Crash, 18" Studio Crash, 18" Chinese.
Additional cymbals that I may use: 14" Groove Hats, 21" Groove Ride, 18" HHXtreme Crash, 19" Studio Crash, 12" Splash.


Snares:
- Self-built 13"x7" snare. 10-ply maple shell,
   English Chestnut finish
- Ahead 14" x 6.5" black nickel over brass snare
- Self-built 14"x5.5" snare. 10-ply maple shell,
   silver glass glitter finish
- Self-customized snare based on an old
   14"x6.5" brass Tama shell
- Tama 14"x5.5" Starclassic birch snare,
   Indigo Blue finish
- Tama 12"x3" hammered steel shell piccolo


Heads:
Evans drum heads: G1 coated on snare top, Hazy 300 on snare bottom, G2 clear (sometimes coated) on tom tops, Clear G1's on bottoms, EMAD on kick.

Sticks:
Vic Virth SDAV model. 5A's for lighter gigs. Assorted brushes, mallets and rods by Vic Firth.
