Martin, what I love even more than your effortless, staggering technique is your glorious sense of music. Watching you play drums is like watching Horowitz play piano; no drama, no wasted motion, just waves of beauty rising, breaking, frothing and swirling. I'm no drummer, but you, sir, are a consummate musician!

@enwent Its so difficult to reply to a comment that has taken so much thought and sincerity without that reply sounding like a cliche, suffice it to say your comment reaffirms my hopes and goals over the past 40 years.

Thanks so much for taking the time.

amazing!! what cymbals do you play?

[mart22222]

@DrumCoalitionWithWar Zildjian mainly although I have added some Stagg double and single hammered splashes, amazing cymbals for the price.

The hats are Zildjian quick beat platinum coated 14" the ride zild 20" med heavy 'K' to my right a 19" 'K' dark crash and below that my fave a zildjian 17" paper thin crash, in front of me is an old 14" PAISTE 400 and moving to my left a 16" thin crash (zildjian)

the China is a ZXT 20" but thats now on my left as i have a paiste 2000 on my right.

What heads are you using? I can't tell but your toms look like response 2s.

[mart22222]

Yeah Aquarian response 2's, I was using the Aquarian double thin, a Mylar top ply and dynaflex (resonant head material) under ply which gives a punchy but wet sound, I couldn't get the double thins this time but the response 2 seems to be same head different name.
