“We’re using Remo clear heads on toms and an Ambassador X coated on the snare now. They’re a lot more durable. It’s all DW hardware, copperplated.
“The gauges and dials were all Neil’s idea. DW were kind enough to run out to the closest hardware store to try and get some of this stuff and send it off to the platers.
“All the video panels on the riser are from a guy called Greg Russell and a prop company in Hollywood.”
