A look at my drum kit. Here you can find all the information about my setup, from the brands to the smallest details. An overview of my drum set, brand, and visual features. Discover what makes my drum set so special.

The Drumkit

My first drumset was the classic Ludwig Versalite drumkit wich I got as a present from my parents. I had that for about 6 years. In the church and the gospel I used the Mapex Mars Pro series, and with my other projects I played the Sonor 2001series. After a couple of years I switched back for all my projects to Mapex witch I play now for about 20 years .

I am using my own signature Soultone cymbals, Gibraltar rack systems, Alesis electronics and my own signature drumsticks. As far as drumheads go: On the toms I use the Evans black chrome Level 360, on the snares the new Evans Heavyweight Dry and on the kicks I use a custom design Evans E-Mad resonance head and the Evans Emad Onyx batter head.

My current drumkit is the Mapex Orion Classic, Birds eye maple, transparant purple, with the 24K golden lugs, a 14"Mapex black panther main snare and a 13"Mapex black panther aluminum side snare.

The shells are 100% north american maple. It has 6 layers of Maple + 1 outer layer of Birdseye Maple. They are pretty thin shells, 5.5 millimeters on toms and 7 on the bass drum, wich gives it the warm, punchy sound.

To get rid of those small overtones, I use the new Sky gel damper pads from Ray Luzier(Korn.) They come in 3 different sizes so you can choose how much you want to dampen the sound and overtones. An absolute must for every drummer.

I also use the Cympad Moderator felts under my cymbals. They give just a bit more damping in the sustain and attack of my cymbals, which is really handy and nice when playing in smaller venues.

HOME STUDIO

Of course, we also need to practice between shows; we do this once a month in the studio with the whole band, and besides that, I maintain my technique and playing skills at home.
In my home studio, I use an electronic drumkit in the same configuration as my live kit.

I currently have two endorsements: The first one is Soultone cymbals, I have my own signature series since 2015, and I am using the Custom Brilliant and the Gospel series.
