    The Rudes and the 2002s are awesome cymbals for metal and hard rock. I'm a Remo guy but most of my snares are Evans batter and reso. Loyalty is hard to find these days and to stick with Tama and Paiste for 30+ years is commendable.

    I watched Anthrax at the 'Mayhem Festival' in Cincinnati back in 2010. Many bands were there and performed but Anthrax truly were the show to see. What performers. You can tell they've been at it a long time because they were just so tight and know each other so well. Not sloppy. These guys were fantastic. Truly!

      The rest were X-tras sizes on toms, one inch short of square: 11x10, 12x11, 13x12, 14x13, 15x14 [diam x depth]. These are easier to tune than fully square sizes. I'll be posting one of these kits for sale on CL in Los Angeles soon. Near-mint condition. Studio kept.

    I’m a TAMA devotee. They make incredible drums without the insane price tag of some of the ‘premium’ brands out there. My Imperialstar was incredible and lasted me well into my intermediate/veteran playing. If you put some nice skins on that and whack an EMAD on the bass drum, it’s a hard sound to top.

I've been a fan of him as well, and learn to decrease/remove dampening from the kit and allow them to resonate. You actually need that dynamic when "competing" with guitar and bass amps.
