Gear

I have been reading a bit about the guys at the fabulous Graham Russell Drums, and they have listed their kits, so I thought I would do the same.

Kit
Pearl Export (Black-ish)
8 x 7 Tom
10 x 7 Tom
12 x 8 Tom
14 x 14 Floor Tom
16 x 16 Floor Tom
22 x 18 bass drum

(An 8 x 7 Tom has now arrived, and if possible there will be a 18 x16 Floor Tom added, and an 18 Bass Drum, but I do concede this will probably be nigh on impossible to get)
