    I saw him play with Death in San Francisco in 1993. He was using a Pearl Custom Z kit. 4 rack toms, 1 floor, double bass with all Paiste Cymbals. He was an incredible, precise MACHINE.

    For me this big dude as he called himself is one of the greatest drummers out there and thanks Gene ! No triggers! I’m not really keen on triggers either but in today’s extreme metal , it seems that certain techniques cannot be really useful without those devices .
    Gene makes everything so simple that's absurd to see how difficult is to okay like he does....... I really need to buy his DVD! I actually would love to ask him what's the best technique to be fast but accurate and to make blast - beats sounding hard without triggers? You know, like old school, Steve Asheim, Mitch Harris, Pete " Comando" Sandoval and those guys.

    I still use my Pearl Session from 1994 & the tone I get from the toms are huge. They sound like mountains being played. Every show I get to use them, which means local because I can't bring them when touring Europe, Canada the West Coast etc., obviously. When recording they are again so massive they add weight to notes within a riff. Live locally, again the comments are always positive. Other drummers who ask to use them, same thing. Kick drums are boomy like cannons going off. I only use the Aquarian heads that have that very light strip of foam. I like them nice & open. I've been using the brass Pearl free-floater as well since its has to be since mid 2000s? It cuts through, but doesn't give that overwhelming ring I have heard from other companies. Sabian as well. My ride is from 1990. With all the smoke, grime & sweat it has a unique sound to it I'll never stray from. My crashes, china, hats are all Sabian. They're the only ones I have ever used & ever will. You don't marry a super model only to cheat with Bette Midler, know what I'm saying?

    I switched to those Pear Redline Eliminators because of Danny Carey and I LOVE them. I even have 2 Danmar beaters on them. I came back to them from my Tricks because they're so good. Put a Trick drive shaft on them now and it's transformed them into the perfect pedal for me.

    I feel the same way about the Pearl Eliminator pedals. I bought them brand new on my birthday in 2003, after trying out the Tama, DW, and Yamaha top models, and the Pearl was just like butter and blew them all away. I've used the same pedal for 19 years, thousands of gigs, hundreds of thousands of hours of practice. Never let me down. Never broke a spring. Threw them around. Never cleaned em. Never greased em. Abused and mistreated and still play like the first day I bought em.
    Obviously there's been a lot of technological advancements and new brands that have came out since 2003, so I recently bought the Trick pedals to try out without testing them first (no one keeps them in stock in the music stores). If they don't turn out like I plan, I'll just sell them. I will never part with my Pearl pedals though, even if I do like the Tricks. That Pearl is just indestructible. It's made me a lot of money and paid for all of my equipment 100 times over.
