DAN BUCH
For those who
are crazy enough to be into gear :
"I
use Yamaha Maple Custom drums for their
consistent sound and their depth of tone. I also use DW drums as they remind me of my beloved Camco kit of days gone by. I have
always felt that the core of my kit is of the great
importance. The kick, snare, ride and hats must
have a nice sound and feel. I also want these
core elements of the kit to fill me with confidence in
their sound and construction. If any of these core
components are not performing well, then the rest of the
kit may not sound or feel right. I use Regal Tip
3A and Rock size sticks. I
endorse Regal Tip drumsticks as they offer uncompromised
quality and feel. Thank you
Regal Tip
for
your dedication to the art of drumming! While I
believe that equipment is never a substitute for
technique and musicality; nice sounding instruments can
help inspire and motivate us!"
The core of my kit consists of:
A) 22" Yamaha Maple Custom or DW Kick drum
B) Yamaha 14x 6/12 Maple
Custom, or 2 Identical Ludwig Acrolite (1968) snares . I always
use coated ambassador
heads on snare drums.
1) 13" Zildjian K Mastersound Hi Hats, or 12"
Istanbul Mehmut Radiant Hi Hats
3) 20" Zildjian K Ride, or 20" Zildjian Earthride ride
G,G, F) DW Titanium 9000 double pedals and DW 9500 Hi
Hat. I use Danmar felt
beaters.
