What a cool website!

Here it is … my tool and my playground. This little kit is a true workhorse. It does three to four hard gigs a week. I have tinkered away at the hardware so that (if you look at the front view) there are only three stands on the floor. Those three stands plus the bass drum hold seven cymbals (Paiste 2002), three toms (one is a modified 10" firecracker snare cranked up like a wooden timbale) and a full microphone set. I use a mixture of aquarian and remo heads with minimal damping. The mics are Beyer-dynamic tom clip-ons, AKG and Shure. I only use Vater 5a nylon tip sticks and go through about a pair every two gigs. My cymbals are all Paiste except the splash and china which are Stagg. The cymbal on the top left side is actually a 15" bottom vintage 2002 hi hat. The tape on it is to dampen it. The choice of cymbal and the ching ring should give you clues as to my favourite drummer: John Bonham.

I play for a very successful cover band in London: SWARM.
