Auralex
The best drum rug there is, period. Dampens vibration on-stage, and prevents unwanted resonance from a hollow stage or riser. Durable and good-looking, too.
Finale
The standard in computer music notation software. Whether you’re a Sibelius user or not, you need to have both Finale & Sibelius as part of any complete music set-up, in my opinion.
Etymotic Research
The best hearing protection I’ve worn to date. Wish these guys had been around when I was a younger musician. EVERYONE: PROTECT YOUR HEARING!
GruvGear
I still schlep my own gear to most gigs, and this is the cart I use.
Protection Racket
Wonderful bags for drums, hardware and cymbals. The fleece-lined drum bags are a joy to carry and use. The rolling hardware bags are great. I use two bags for my hardware (so that one bag won’t be too heavy to lift): one for my “universals” (hi-hat, kick pedal, stickbag and throne) and the other for stands. Life is good.
Protechtor Percussion ~ Gator Cases
Protechtor Cases have been protecting my drums & cymbals for many a year now, giving me confidence and peace of mind whether my equipment is in transit or in storage.
