Drums...

In my new studio...

         

For most projects, I use a Pearl MMX (4-ply maple) drum kit with the following sizes:

8x10, 9x12, 12x14, 14x16, 16x22

Or I might use a Yamaha Beech Custom Absolute in the following sizes:

8x12, 14x16, 14x22

I have several snares to choose from (here's a few...):
 

Pearl MMX 5.5 x 14 (diecast)

Pearl MMX 5.5 x 14 (superhoop)

Pearl Sensitone Steel 5.5 x 14

Pearl 3.5 x 14 Free Floating Brass

Vintage Ludwig Acrolite 5 x 14

Pearl MRX 6.5 x 14

Pork Pie Big Black 6.5 x 14

Brazilian Rosewood Rope Drum

GMS "Vintage" 5 x 14

Vintage Ludwig Supraphonic 5x14

Ludwig Epic 6.5 x 14 Birch/Maple

Worldmax "Jade Tiger" 5 x 14

Ludwig Bronze 6.5 x 14 Ludwig Black Magic 6.5 x 14

 

Cymbals...

I use mostly Zildjian (A Custom & K Custom Dark) cymbals, but also have a classic Paiste 602 ride, a couple nice Wuhan china's, some Sabian splashes, some Dream rides and crashes, and more.

Recording Gear...Studio Rack 1

For recording, I use a Digidesign 002R (BLA modded) and Pro Tools LE 9 connected to a Dell Inspiron 560 quad core.  I have mic pres by A-Designs, OSA (Old School Audio), Universal Audio, AML (Audio Maintenance Limited - Neve 1073 clone), Avedis Audio, Vintech and more.  I also have some vintage Yamaha PM-1000 mic preamps (aka, "The Japanese Neve") that I racked.  

I have microphones by AKG, Audix, Audio-Technica, Shure, Studio Projects, Sennheiser, Mojave, Beyerdynamic and others.   An example of the mic/pre setup I might use is:

Kick: Audix D6 --> Avedis MA5
SubKick:  speaker (wired as mic) --> Digi 002

Snare Top:   Shure SM57 --
> A-Designs EM-Blue
Snare bottom:  Beyer M420n --> Digi 002
Toms:  Audix D2 & D4 --> OSA or EM-Red
Ride:   Adx 51 --> Digi 002

HiHat:   AT37 --> Digi 002
Overheads:  AKG C414's --> A-Designs P1
Room - Mojave Audio MA-201fet -> Vintech 573

I own the Waves SSL 4000 Collection and other Waves plugins as well as Drumagog and Massey's DTM (Drums to MIDI) plug-ins and several sample libraries, so if you decide you want to change or augment the drum sounds, I can easily do that too.
