Mr Rock Solid: Anton Fig

[Pocketplayer]

Man is Anton solid as a rock! Just plays everything right and those
Zildjian K's sound amazing! Have come to really appreciate this
consummate professional.

Hes got the New York Groove.

He played on that Ace Frehley hit and a lot of other Frehley stuff.

He also played on KISS records.

What ride cymbal?

Anton has used a 22" Zildjian K Custom ride since they came out. The brilliant finish unlathed original model.
He is using a Yamaha PHX series kit and his signature snare drum on tour as well.

hey...he's got a tempo ref...never seen a pro w/one... nice to know they're human too

Truly one of my favorites, got to meet him at a drum clinic, he was nice and took a lot of questions, have his video .
He truly can go from light jazz to bone crushing rock.

I think he uses the 20 version of the ride. Maybe he uses both sizes though..

He's so good...

I really dislike Bonamassa's wanking. Anton is a master though and always has great sounding gear..

 

[Houndog]

The drum breaks on Rip It Out/Ace Frehley are epic !!!!!

I wasn't sure whether to say anything, but yeah. I don't get it.

Damn straight.

 

[Pocketplayer]

the fans called it out...

agree on those fills

 

[Vistalite Black]

Anton Fig's hat seem especially unsuited to the occasion. Is it wool? A beret? Why put that sweat lid on your head?

His earlier stuff was killer. Different players made the difference.

I really like Joes early stuff , I'm not a fan of what he has done lately ..That rockaplast show is really great !!!

 

[Ludwig26]

Anyone know what cymbals drums heads he used on Ace Frehley's solo album &Kiss "Dynasty"&"Unmasked"?.

 

[lamartee]

Big fan of all his work. Got his signature snare back when it when it came out and it sounds great with everything!
