DAVE'S gear (close)

Do the drums make the drummer? Nah, but a good rig goes a long way to giving a drummer the right tools he/she needs to make killer grooves.  I use different kits for different applications, and below is a list of the equipment I use.  Currently, I am not sponsored by nor do I endorse any brand or company.  I use this gear because I believe in it.
