I use Zildjian cymbals,
15" hi-hats, 24" ping ride,
20" crash ride, 18" crash, 14" crash and a 14" crash with a key hole cut
in it.
The big snare drum has Fyberskyn
Heads with a Dr. Shoals foot pad taped on the underside of it to give a
rich thick deep sound which I think sounds great for worship.
The small snare drum has a Ambassador
head which is great for encouraging people to clap, all other drums have
Evans Hydraulic Blue heads.
I also use a Lemon shaker by Remo, Latin Percussion Concert Series Bar Chimes 25 single row.
Precautions When Handling the
Equipment
Actual Warnings from a Tama
Pamphlet that came with a snare drum stand
Do not use the equipment for any purpose other
than performance.
The individual drums, as well
as the stands and other accessories, contain many metal parts. The stands
are particularly heavy, and can be dangerous if used for anything other
than the intended purpose.
Playing around the drum set can be dangerous.
There are a lot of stands set
up around the drum set. Children playing near the equipment run the risk
of running into the stands and injuring their faces, heads, or other parts
of their bodies, or tripping and falling. Be careful not to let children
play around the drum set.
Stay away from the drum set if an earthquake
occurs.
A strong vibration such as an
earthquake can cause the drum set to shift or fall over. If an earthquake
should occur, be sure to stay well clear of the drum set.
Never use sticks
for anything other than playing the drums.
Sticks and wire brushes are
intended for playing the drums. Never hit people with them or throw them
at people. This can be extremely dangerous.
Be careful of broken sticks.
Sticks are made of wood. If
they break while playing, fragments and splinters can go flying, possibly
causing injury.
