Drums

Being a Drummer, this drumkit is my pride and joy. I built the Drumset myself. 8-ply Maple Shells for the Toms, with 10-ply Maple Kicks. The Shells were manufactured for me by Keller Industries. I did the rest. The Finish is a Low-lustre/ Satin "Rub on Polyureathane". I wanted to protect the beauty of the Shells-but not inhibit their sustain. I went with oversized drums, because I'm a John Bonham fan. I love the look and sound of big drums-it's just that simple!

The Cymbals are all Paistes.

MIDI Gear & Electronic Drums
