The kit, from above

Mapex Armory shell pack with two snares: a Mapex Black Panther Shadow 14"x6.5" as the main and a Tomahawk 14"x5.5" for a different voice. Cymbals are a mix: Paiste PST7 18" crash, Meinl 16" Classics Custom Heavy, 14" Sabian Sonix Pro hi-hats, and a 20" Sabian Sonix ride. Evans G2 coated heads on the toms, EMAD2 on the kick, Heavyweight on the snare, Pearl kick pedal, and Vater Los Angeles 5A sticks.

AKG mics covering the full kit, with a Shure SM57 dedicated to the snare. A reliable combination that captures everything cleanly.

Recorded through an 8-channel audio interface and mixed entirely in Logic Pro, from raw tracks through to a polished final product.
