Gear
My drumkit configuration will change frequently depending on the requirements of the gig. These days I’m starting to favour the 1 rack/1 floor setup but occasionally I’ll integrate the 10” tom whether for something like a cover gig, or I’ll add it to my left side to mix things up. I’m looking to integrate this into future projects. For the time being, here’s the setup I used on the Mirrors - Cold Sanctuary EP, followed by a list of my gear. This is the setup I spend the bulk of my time playing with.
