Art's Drum Kit

I use a 14x22 inch Bass Drum with a 9 x 13 Small Tom mounted on the Bass Drum. Two 16x16 floor toms and a Rogers chrome Dyna Sonic snare drum. I have a 20-inch Ride Cymbal, as well as, a medium thin 19-inch Crash Cymbal on my left. On my right, I have an 18-inch medium thin Crash Cymbal and 13-inch New Beat Zildjian Hi Hats. I always use Pro-Mark 5A Drumsticks with Nylon Tips. At home, I like the Tama Rhythm Watch next to my drums, because, it has the best volume.

Practice Pad Set-Up

I use the 10-inch Remo Practice Pad on a tripod stand with a Gibraltar GBDP Bass Drum Pad. Next to my pad, I use a Boss DB-66 Dr. Beat Metronome. I have an Iron Cobra Pedal on the Bass Pad, and a second one on my Bass Drum as well.

Zildjian A Series New Beat Hi-Hat Pair 13 Inches

The Zildjian A Series New Beat Hi-Hat Pair are the world's most popular and versatile cymbals. Created from cast bronze alloy of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver, it is symmetrically machine hammered and lathed with a traditional wide groove. The result is an exuberant cymbal that bursts with a classic voice that is pure, bright, and expressive.

Tama Rhythm Watch RW105

The Tama Rhythm Watch is the first metronome to give drummers the special features they require. And it has enough volume so you can play with real drums.The large display is easy to read during performance, and there's a large dial for quick tempo adjustments. Choose from 2 different sounds. 20 different memory settings can be recalled instantly. Red and green LED lights offer visual reinforcement. Volumes for quarter notes, eighth notes, and triplets can be set individually for different rhythm patterns. Tap function lets you find the tempo by simply tapping the START/TAP button.

Boss DB-66 Dr. Beat Metronome

This sophisticated metronome is a must-have for the serious student or professional musician. From straight 4/4 to complex polyrhythms, the DB-66 will guide you through any practice session

Four sliders balance between different pitched chimes for quarter notes, eighth-note afterbeats, sixteenth-note afterbeats, and eighth-note triplets
Two LED's for visual monitoring of beats and downbeat

Tap mode for setting the tempo by tapping a key on the DB-66
A-440 tone for acoustic tuning

I realize this unit is a little out of date and to my understanding most retailers do not even sell it anymore. Boss has 3 newer units available with prices ranging from $40.00 USD to $160.00 USD.
