Before my relationship with them , I already had several other brand items like Toca Custom wood congas , some old LP chrome over brass timbales , a Fat Conga cajon , and Treeworks chimes .
Cymbals All Dream 8 ”, 10 ”, 12 ”, 18 ” Bliss . 10 ”, 18 / 20 ” Contact . 22 ” Pang . 36 ” Chau and Feng gongs ( for StikYard ).
Tambourine Pearl Ultra grip with brass jingles ( also mounts ). Pearl concert German Silver / Beryllium Copper jingle mix with goatskin head .
Shakers There are several , such as a Pearl Hex Gonza , a Schlagwerk one , and one from Brazil . The Pearl Awakening Series Natural Nut Shakers simulate a lot of what I ’ ve picked up oversees . And there are lots of Indian and African bells I picked up while traveling .
Different Sticks Innovative Percussion : IP-5AM Multi-stick . BR-5 Synthetic Bundle Rods . BR-9 Synthetic Bundle Stick . Vintage 5A and 5B .
In-Ears Three reasons why I don ’ t have molds anymore ; taking them in and out during StikYard rehearsals , I ’ ve been known to lose them , and getting a good seal . So I ’ m currently using generic , multiple-driver knock-offs with rubber tips .
[ WM ] Any gear you use that we left out ?
[ Mark ] If I need a djembe , I love my Pearl Elite Fiberglass . I like mounting detuned pandeiros , often played with plastic rods . For a low impact sound , large surdos with legs are great since they can squeeze into a rig well . I usually throw in a couple small Pearl acrylic concert toms or roto toms . For some material , the lapdrums from American Percussion Instruments are cool , especially if you put a lav mic inside of them .
