Pics of kit in pic section. Normally don't use entire kit for gigs...it's just too much to haul, and it won't all fit in my SUV anyway.
Also have Roland V-Drums electronic kit w/ 200 watt drum amp. This is mainly used for practicing...not gigging.
Sticks used (depending on gig)...
- Pro Mark - Rock 747 (usually nylon tip, sometimes wood)
- Vic Firth - Buddy Rich Signature Series (wood tip)
