PEARL DRUMS

Update November 2025: I am officially a Pearl artist. New kit specs coming to this page soon (Reference One series). For now, check out my artist page on Pearl’s website and this YouTube video.

Two Pearl Masters kits for use in the studio and on tour:

MCX (Maple): 20” kick, 10” / 12” / 14” toms, 14” matching snare (favorite snare I’ve owned, used as main snare on every Sungazer recording, and many others)

BRX (Birch): 22” kick, 10” / 12” / 14” toms

Other: 14” x 5.5” Ultrasound Snare Drum

Kit pictured above is a Pearl Maple Gum series: 22” kick, 12” / 16” toms, 2 x 14” snares (left one tuned low) - I don’t recall the snare specs, as the kit above was loaned for a video shoot.

ELECTRONICS:

Sensory Percussion Sound System (V2) by Evans Hybrid

Roland SPD-SX PRO Sampling Pad (view)

Roland RT Series Triggers on the drums (kick / snare / tom)

Pintech RS-5 (or any piezo trigger) on hi-hat / stack

I endorse Pearl Drums, Meinl Cymbals, Evans Drumheads, and 64 Audio IEM’s.
