| Quote: | The
drums are made by DW, with a custom red sparkle finish - sam as the
last tour. (DW offered to build me a new set, but these ones still
sounded great, so I decided to keep them.)
The bass
drum is 22", the toms are 8", 10", 12", 13", 15" (two), 16", and 18".
The current favorite snare drum is a 5" x 14" DW Craviatto, and I'm
also using a 13" DW piccolo snare, miscellaneous LP cowbells, and DW
pedals and hardware.
Out back, and hidden all around,
are Roland V-drums and trigger pads, accompanying the Kat mallet
controller and Shark pedals, all feeding into Roland TD-10 modules with
expansion cards, Roland 5080 sampler, line mixer, and midi converters.
(I have no idea what any of that means.)
Drum
heads are remo white-coated Ambassadors, and cymbals are Avedis
Zildjian - 8" splash, 2-10" splashes, 13" high-hats, 14" X-hats, 2-16"
crashes, 18" crash. 20" crash, 22" ride, 20" Low China, and an 18"
Chinese Wuhan.
(That sort of thing I understand better - you just hit them with sticks. Promark 747 "Signature" ones, in this case.)
Someone
has also written at the end of this list that I have "a really great
drum tech." That would be Lorne Wheaton, better know as "Gump." Or is
that "Grump?" Time will tell... |

| That's all well and good, but how does he get out of there when he's finished playing!

Wow, can't believe I actually guessed it. I'm not much of a drum aficionado.

Actually a small crane lowers down and attaches to his seat, and then just lifts him out.
 (hey I thought it was funny, and that's all that matters in my mind).

I thought it was funny, too. That's why I was about to say something about a crane hoisting him out every time he's done. But you beat me to it.
