Really sad to hear this, he always seems like such a great guy on his YouTube vids. I wish him and his family all the best.

I'd like to see a configured kit (not custom) with toms that go 10", 12", 15". For me, 15" is the most versatile floor tom size there is and it deserves to become standardised. And while we're at it, I'm curious to hear what a 9" tom would sound like - I've searched on YouTube and can't find any...

Love this quote! Also thanks for posting clips of the tom tunings Gavin, much appreciated. So nice of you to take the time to share that kind of stuff with us!

Thanks Andy! That was based on the timpani roll Chris Squire would play live, like here at 4 mins.

Hi all, I’m very proud to present here my cover of the drum solo section from the Yes song ‘Ritual (Nous Sommes Du Soleil)’, originally played by Alan White. My aim for this was to capture the spirit of the live versions of the song while also adding some of my own little twists. I was also very...

Steve Jordan would probably be my number 1 choice. He would kill it! He's someone who can groove hard, rock hard and also has the articulation of a jazz drummer. Just listen to his playing here - exquisite Bonham-esque grooves if I've heard them.

I use Vic Firth sticks - always 16" long and always around the 55A diameter as that's the size that fits my hands the best. The tip and taper change depending on the gig. Here are my usual choices: Jazz, function band, low volume gigs: Peter Erskine Big Band Sticks Moderate-high volume gigs...

Ian Paice Terry Bozzio Jeff Porcaro Vinnie Colaiuta For me, these 4 are like the rock drumming elite club from that era.

Hi Gavin, hope all is well! Thanks again for answering our questions, it's such a privilege to be able to ask you this stuff here. I have quite a task ahead of me in that I agreed to take part in an YouTube cover of Anesthetize - I'll be playing drums on specifically The Pills I'm Taking...

Thank you! One of my life ambitions is to start the 15" floor tom revolution haha. In my opinion, it's the most versatile size and goes with 10" and 12" rack toms better than other floor tom sizes. For me, the 14" lacks low end punch and feels lacklustre when playing rock. And the 16" I often...

Thanks for pointing that out, it's not something I noticed before. Definitely not a deal breaker for me though!

I don't own any of the drums yet. I'll be ordering all the drums together, so this wouldn't be an option. The only way to assure the interior is consistent would probably be to order all SQ2 toms. However I can't say I'm fussed about the aesthetics of the inside of the drums. Pearl References...

Interesting! I was not aware of being able to put ProLite badges on SQ2 drums. I looked on the configurator and there was no option to do that but I don't doubt that it might be possible. To be honest, the different badges wouldn't bother me much. When I talk about the toms going together, I'm...

So I’m in an interesting predicament. For a while now I’ve been wanting to get a high end Sonor maple kit and after weighing up different options, I have settled on ordering a ProLite in Nussbaum finish (each drum would be costed individually). Now my ideal floor tom sizes would be 15x13” and...
