![]() This is a Sabian HHX Omni cymbal, which is something that I designed. It’s a 14” Hand Hammered China with a perforated 13” Fierce hi-hat top. Usually, small hi hats don’t have much of an amplitude. This is it’s little brother or sister – a 10” Sabian Fierce hat. It’s a nice thing and sounds good for drum-machine-like stuff. With normal hi hats you will get too much. ![]() This is very dry and doesn’t go out of control, even if I open it wide. This is a really dry hi hat, which allows me to get a lot of different sounds, from machine-like to a more open one. ![]() It’s something I designed, a prototype with a pronounced bell. Sometimes, I turn this snare off to get some more melodic, soft… Regular sound here… With this sheet on, I have a more electronic sound. This is a 10” x 8” tom, which I tune really high to get more contrast. It’s a little unconventional, but I use one of these snare sheets on it too. They’re pretty versatile and work with pretty much everything. The heads on this tour are regular Evans G1 360°. I can also play the snare without it, I can get a lot of different sounds out of this drum. I use one of these snare sheets that really change the sound completely. This snare is 14” x 5.5” and I use it with a Hoop Crasher that Sabian makes, which goes on top of a snare. The kit is a Sonor ProLite with maple shells. The originals are very hard to get and costs thousands of dollars. Down here is a clone – a DIY Swedish copy of a machine made by Pearl in the 1980s called Syncussion. I use it a lot. I use a lot of effects: delays, distortion, compression, and they come from here. I effect a return from the house with an Eventide H9. I also trigger the bass drum. They’re really simple sounds – not too crazy, kinda generic. I use a Roland TM-2, from where I trigger some of my electronic sounds. It’s great because you can replace them if something breaks and they really feel like molded earpieces. They make all the way from two to eight drivers and everybody in the band is using those. ![]() It’s a new proprietary system and they sound awesome. ![]() I just got them new and I’m really excited about them because they’re actually not custom mold but they feel like it. I use these in-ear stage drivers from a German company. We also travel with our own desk, which makes soundcheck simpler. We don’t use any wedge monitors on stage, everything comes through this box into my in-ears. This is the Allen & Heath mixer, with which we communicate with the house. Maybe we’ll start with the far left and go to the right. We’re here in Poland with my band Nerve on a European tour and I’m here to give you a quick rundown of the equipment that I use on this tour. ![]()
