Performance Video – ‘What You’re Saying’
Hello, Login to start. Not a member? Join Today!
This is a track from Malcolm Bruce’s album ‘Salvation’ on which I played drums. It’s a cool rock tune in 3/4 that is a lot of fun to play. Check out the album on bandcamp.
I used a simple rock setup – 13×9 rack tom, 22×16 kick, 14×14 and 16×16 floors and 14×5 wood snare.
Cymbals L to R – 15″ HHX Legacy hats, 19′ HHX-treme crash, 22″ Artisan Medium ride, 19″ HHX Legacy crash and 20″ HHX Legacy O-Zone ride.
Heads are clear emperors on the toms, clear P3 on the kick and coated ambassador on the snare.

Nice job!! What do you think of the pearl eliminator redlines compared to the Yamaha pedal you were using? I have the Yamaha direct drive hat stand and a Tama iron cobra. I also have Dw 9002, mapex falcons double, and Tama speed cobra doubles. I thought for a while a pedal would make a difference but so far it hasn’t and of the four I have I prefer the latest version of the iron cobra series. However I haven’t tried the redline elims nor the Yamaha ever. Also which Vic Firth sticks do you prefer? Thanks
Hi Dan – I really love the Eliminators. The cam options make it the most versatile and best value for money pedal out there. Every cam feels very different and I have the strap-drive version so it’s extremely smooth. The Yamaha was great too – they are always very smooth and very simple and feel great. This is all personal preference. No pedal will make you play any faster or better but it is important to choose something you like and feel confident with. If you’re a single-pedal player you could check out the Sonor Perfect Balance pedal – that’s a unique pedal that really feels different to anything else out there. I also really like the Pearl Demon Drive (chain model – not a fan of direct drive pedals at all) – that also has a ton of adjustable features that really change the feel.
As for sticks – I love the Buddy Rich signature stick. I struggle with the paint on them (slipping out of my hands under lights or when sweating) but I persevered because the stick is totally unique and plays beautifully. The extra length is very helpful for traditional grip and the tip being part of the shaft makes for a great feel on the drums and cymbals.
Hope that helps! Thanks for the great questions.
