Just got this 6" x 14" Tama S.L.P. Fat Spruce snare drum and I'm loving the wide rock ballad almost Jeff Porcaro sound that I'm getting. Ghost notes are ridiculous on this thing!! ❤️🥁 #drums #drummer #drumming #tamaslp #tamaslpsnare #tamaslpfatspruce #tama #tamadrums #snaredrum

I'm very happy with these new Pearl Eliminator Redline double pedals from #pearldrums that I recently received. I think these are about the smoothest bass pedals I've ever played 😍 and they look great with my #gretschdrums and #gibraltarhardware too 😎🥁. I highly recommend checking these out to anyone looking to replace their existing double pedals and aren't on a really tight budget. I upgraded from the original Tama Iron Cobra double pedals released in the 90's to these and the difference was amazing given the age of them. However I do have to give props to Tama as well for making a pedal that has lasted me over 20 years of service 🎉 #drums #drumming

New 14" Meinl Classics China addition sounds great! Also love my Zildjians and Paistes! #drums #drumming #meinlcymbals #zildjiancymbals #paistecymbals

Dug out my Ludwig 6.5"x14" LM-402K Supra-Phonic Hammered Snare the other day. Got it back in the mid 90's and still looks great. It needs some cleaning and polishing but will be good as new soon. Love this snare!

Quick blip of this weekend’s practice session.

It’s Rudiment Friday! Time to hit the practice pad before the kit to get all these and more down!
