Heads:
BATTER SIDE: On ALL the toms I have Aquarian Super 2 clears w/ a studio x ring.
RESO: I have Evans Resonant clears on the bottoms of the 10 and 12" toms and on the 14 and 16" are Evans G2 clears! (G2's suggested from Evans themselves...a great reso head for a growling deep tom!)
Currently I have an Aquarian Studio X clear w/ power dot on the 6" snare (for that fat-wet 80's sound!) w/ a Remo snare side on the bottom w/ Puresound Percussion Custom 20 snare wires.
My 5x14" Ludwig Acrolite uses a Remo CS coated batter (soon to be replaced with an Aquarian Texture Coated w/ a power dot) and an Ambassador snare side bottom with Puresound Percussion "Blaster" snares.
Evans EMAD II (or an Aquarian Super Kick II) on my bass w/ a stock black head and a 10" hole (no muffling). I also use the Aquarian double pedal kick pad for the better head.
