I could think of no better unit to represent our United States of America! Seeing them perform here is great but once you see them perform in person you'll come away not only awe inspired but with a greater appreciation for the amount of time, energy and commitment it takes to put these amazing and outstanding presentations together!

Super clean playing especially given the rhythmic modulations! Anyways, thank you for sharing

    Yea, this particular set I believe were Buchler drums from Switzerland. 17" heads by 20" deep, with gut snares. I think we were using some type of swiss kevlar head at the time as well. And the drums are put into a rope tension hydraulic press (lightly) to get even tension on the rims, then the rope is pulled evenly around the drum and tide off with a pig tail and the left over rope is woven into the drag rope.
