Hey Fellow Drummers!

Here is my current set-up:
Pearl BLX Series. Yes, it is the old series from the 80's, but they sound great in my opinion. Ludwig hand-hammered supra-phonic bronze snare.

10", 12" & 16" toms
22" X 16" bass
I own another matching bass drum and another 13" tom but I can't carry it all in my car, so the above is my live set-up.

Remo heads - Coated Ambassadors tom tops, Ebony Ambassadors on bottoms. Powerstroke 3 beater side and customer art head on front with 4" hole. Powerstroke 3 on snare with reinforcement dot with Ambassador snare bottom.

Hardware: Pearl gear with a Gibralter Rack

Stick: Vater 5B wood tip or AHEAD 5B sticks

Cymbals:
Like Matt, I own about 15 to 20 cymbals but live I'm using the the following:
14" Sabian AAX Stage Hats (Bottom cymbal used as top and top used as bottom)
16" Sabian AAX Stage crash
18" Sabian AAX Stage crash
20" Paiste 2002 Heavy Ride
17" Sabian AA Medium Thin crash
18" Sabian X20 China
