Nick's Rave of the Month
Drum Tech At Large
---E-MAIL NICK
Nick has a large selection of equipment, so that no matter the gig, no matter the session, the drums will fit the song just as well as the playing.  This includes everything from tiny "bop" kits to huge "Bonzo" kits, and everything in between, and, of course, a corresponding array of cymbals.

He has a large collection of drums, including Brady, Dunnett, Tempus, Fibes, Ludwig, Roland, Pork Pie and Drum Solo, and uses Paiste cymbals exclusively. He also proudly endorses SilverFox drum sticks, Aquarian drumheads, Audix microphones, Slug Percussion Products, E-pad! practice pads, QwikStix stick holders, S-Hoop drum hoops, TightScrew tension rods, and Dynamicx snare wires.

Below are some of his more notable drums:

Snares

Dunnett 5.5x14 Cherry.Words fail me. This drum doesn't.

Dunnett Copper snare with acid finish. Powerful, full, cutting. The classic rock snare sound.

Dunnett Stainless Steel snare, Stanbridge hoops. Full, warm, sensitive. The rimshot king.

Dunnett J Class snare. Aluminum. Bonham to the bone. Tempus fiberglass snare with gunmetal sparkle finish. A piccolo with balls. Early-40's Ludwig & Ludwig 6x14. All original. Including the tone.
Kits
Tempus fiberglass kit, orange sparkle finish. Clear and musical. A very versatile kit for rock and pop. Tempus fiberglass bop kit, gunmetal sparkle finish. It looks small. Doesn't sound that way. Dunnett Titanium kit. Dynamic, musical, simply beautiful. A timbre like no other.
Here's Nick's view of this stunning kit. And no, he doesn't get tired of looking at it, either. Fibes Amber Acrylic kit, awaiting its turn onstage at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. Pork Pie maple kit backstage at the Gig in Hollywood.
