What can I say about
Zildjian that hasn’t already been said? I’ve been an
endorser for 10 years, and they are always creating new
and exciting sound palates. I am working on a prototype
splash with Paul Francis, and we hope to have it out in
2008. Click the link for my site on the Zildjian page.

I feel that
the sound, look, and "vibe" of today's Ludwig drums is
really great. The AR/management people are excellent,
and their commitment to education has been there for
years. They are the drums I really want to play,
and a company I want to be a part of.
Ludwig is the company that many top drummers are looking
at these days because of their classic sound and rich
history. They are the drums that many have tried to
emulate over the years, and now they have returned..in a
big way. |

As a kid, I got my first Remo drum pad when I was 7. I still have it, and it
still works! The drumheads have continued to be a staple of the drum industry. I am honored that
they have asked me to become an endorser/clinician, and their new Bass Drum head, "POWERSONIC",
is an amazing invention. I am real particular when it comes to the thump of my bass drum, and
this new head just Kiks!. I look forward to playing Remo for a long time, and so should you!

Like many of you, my first
pair of sticks were Regal Tip, and I just switched to
them because I am really excited about the new products
and designs they are creating. The new 5AXW, and the “e”
series tip are excellent, and I love the feel of the 3B.
I signature stick is in the works, but it is a bit of a
process, so be patient, it WILL be worth it! |

The
Safe hoop is the newest product on the market. It
protects the edges, creating less impact, and it's also
less impact to your hands. It feels wonderful to play. A
huge difference than with regular hoops, and not as
heavy and bulky as die cast hoops. It really makes the
drum sing, creating a consistent tone, and fat sound.
Plus, you can put Zero rings on the drum, and they are
held in place with the overlapping hoop. It also gives
the drums a great look! Check them out! |

The Futz is definitely with me backstage before shows and clinics! It feels great, and it helps get my foot into the groove! I also use it with my students at Drummers Collective. |

When space and weight are
an issue, I turn to the Traps A400 drum kit...compact,
portable, great sound quality with a great "feel".
Traps...........maybe not the "only way to go".....but
"the easiest way to go".
