“For most of my drumming time, I have greatly enjoyed: Yamaha drums and hardware, Sabian cymbals, Evans drum heads, and Shure monitors. I do also like DW, Sonor, and Pearl hardware. Last year I had the pleasure of visiting the Evans Factory on Long Island (thank you Dom and Steve!) … what an amazing, well-organized company! Their quality is no longer a mystery…”
