I am proud to be endorsed by Sonor drums, Vater sticks and Protection Racket cases!
I'm the kind of person who really appreciates the right tool for the job. That being said, I top of the line Sonor drums in all their high end woods. (Maple, Birch, Beech). A very wide variety of Meinl's from their Byzance and GenX lines, also, for when I need to be REALLY strange, pretty much all the Hammerax Hybrid Effect Cymbals. Whatever the situation calls for, I'm prepared.

The trademark of the Sonor Delite Series is the sound spectrum provided by the extremely thin vintage maple shells. These give a Sonor Delite set an unmistakably open sound and an enormously wide range for practically all styles of music. The sound characteristics of the individual shells are characterized by a soft, warm tone that highlights the lower pitches and provides balance in the mid-range and treble.
