Dave
knows his gear. He is constantly shopping for the
best hardware and software to keep The Garage
on the cutting edge.
Here is the latest:
Drums
Dave plays Yamaha
drums, and has both Phoenix and Birch Absolute kits.
Both are available immediately
in the studio. Bass drum sizes
range from a nice 18" or 20" kick to a thunderous 24x18"
for the heavier stuff! 10", 12", 13", 14", and 16" toms
can be used along with Dave's signature snare drums. All
Yamaha hardware.
Dave uses LP
timbales, bells, and other percussion instruments.
A new addition in the drum
department is Dave's endorsement with Cajon DG. Paolo
makes some fantastic instruments, and Dave is studying
to play the cajon. He is already incorporating it into
several recordings!
Dave plays Remo
heads, mostly coated Ambassadors on the top and clear
heads on the bottom. He also plays Remo congas.
Everything gets hit with
Vic Firth sticks and products.
Cymbals
Dave exclusively plays the two
lines of cymbals he helped create: the Sabian
HHX Evolution and Legacy
lines. The Evolution cymbals are bright and refined,
while the Legacy cymbals feature darker textures.
