Another one for the gear nerds - my studio kit. Mapex Armoury shells, Gretsch Catalina Snare, K custom dark crash & ride, New Beat hi hats. Evans hydraulic heads on toms. I also use Istanbul 17” trashy hats. #drummer #mapexarmory #mapex #gretsch #gretschdrums #kcustomdark #zildjian #evansdrumheads

Copied from another platform as it's easier than typing it again. The life of a drummer (and, it seems, a bit of a gear flipper):

Over the last 2 years I've basically done a 100% changeover in my drum gear. And still ended up ahead. The readers digest version: 1. Was using a 5 piece Mapex Saturn III kit 2. Got an amazing deal on a 6 piece Peace DNA maple kit in red sparkle. Sold off enough pieces (cymbals, throne, etc.) that I broke even in what I paid and still had some hardware and the full shellpack left. 3. Traded the (now unused) Mapex Saturn III for a Tama Superstar hyperdrive. Took a bit of a loss in the resale value, but a hyperdrive kit is what I wanted most. 4. Rewrapped the Hyperdrive in a purple satin metallic auto wrap. 5. Found a newer Tama Superstar Hyperdrive in better shape and in a finish I've always wanted. 6. Sold the Peace DNA set, bought the new Superstar Hyperdrive. 7. Sold the Purple Hyperdrive 8. Bought a used Mapex Armory Fusion kit (for an AMAZING deal) with a Mapex MPX snare for smaller stages where the 22x20 superstar kick may be a bit much. SO, after all is said and done, I went from a Mapex Saturn III kit to the Tama Superstar Hyperdrive I always wanted since they were released, a Mapex Armory Fusion kit, and some Peace boom stands with an extra $200 bucks in my pocket. Oh, I also sold my Black Panther Blaster snare and bought a Udrum 13x6.75 3mm aluminum snare.
