The kit Steven Adler recorded “Appetite for Destruction” with is very different from the one he played once the band got popular (ie the black Tama and Pearl kits). His original stage set up and the kit he used on the album were an old Tama Imperialstar consisting of only a 14x24 bass drum, 16x18 floor tom and a maple 8x14 snare. He used a hi-hat, two crashes and a ride. This kit can be seen in many photos of the band from 1986-88 and he appears to be using a combination of Remo heads including Pinstripes, Clear Emperors and a coated something on his snare.
