It’s the artist’s name on the album cover and the concert hall. Unless he/she hired you specifically for your sound, then play the equipment they want you to play, or there likely is someone else who will.

Steve Smith, Louie Bellson, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, Neil Peart.

The finish options and the in-house hardware sets N&C above others. They set the bar for solid shell snares, IMO, not to mention their ply snares. They also have a long tradition. They use the same equipment to make their snares today that they used in the 1860s. They really make “modern...

Of course he’s a good drummer. It’s perfectly OK if you do not care for the music (I don‘t) but still respect the playing.

I am a very lucky man - my wife knows that drums are part of the package with me. She understands how important they are to me. A couple of years ago, I went through a major bout with depression and anxiety. My wife knew something was very wrong because during that period I stopped playing my...

I saw them on their last tour, 2019. Nicks was fantastic and non-stop. What a great band, truly at the top of their game. I’ve got his Paiste Signature Ride - best rock ride I have ever played.

A lot of drummers, IMO, just don't realize they are hitting so hard. After a while, the heavy hitting becomes unmusical, at least to me. I try to play with dynamics - listening to the rest of the band. Sure, there are times when we just rock out and really lay into a song. Just not on EVERY...

Great drum, great price, great guy to buy it from!

It takes guts to play a drum solo - it is really putting yourself out there. I will say this one went on a few minutes longer than it should have - who is the drummer? Doesn’t look familiar to me.

This is great. I only discovered him a year or so ago when I came across a snare tuning video he did. He's got such a great touch on the drums and seems like such a great person. Heck of a combination there.

Some drummers don’t like the look of the gaskets. Personally, I never noticed until someone pointed it out to me. I’m in the minority for sure, but I like the look. I have never been able to tell any difference in sound or resonance.

I love this album - very solid from start to finish. 12 songs, 42 minutes - it’s a rocker for sure.

Thanks for posting - I have been looking for this one but never knew what his name was. So fun to watch him play.
