Drums

The primary drum sets I use in various configurations (depending on the music genre or the acoustics of the venue) are:

'63 Gretsch Round Badge Champagne Sparkle
(BD 20″, TT 12″ & 13″, FT 14″, 16″)

and

Bertrand Custom G'nspired (Keller maple shells)
(BD 18″, TT 10″, 12″, FT 14″)

Additionally, I play Pearl Midtown and Sonor Force 507 drums – these drums have been slightly customized and perform exceptionally well both on stage and in the studio.

I use different snare drums, such as Pearl FFS (Free Floating System) (14”x6,5” – with maple or brass shells), vintage Pearl Thunderking (14”x5,5”), Dixon Artisan Black Steel (14”x6,5”), Dixon Piccolo Brass (13”x3,5”), and several other drums built or modified according to my specifications.

Cymbals

For many years, I've remained loyal to Istanbul Agop Cymbals and exclusively use these exceptional cymbals as an endorser.

Below you will find samples of how some of my favourite cymbals sound:

30th Anniversary Ride & Hi-Hat

22″ Vezir Flat Ride (2386 grams)

Xist ION Dark Ride 21″ (2255 g)
