Slideshow with text:

Following our preview of Rhythm Magazine’s exclusive TCV drumming interview with Dave Grohl (...), here his tech of seven years (and founder of classic kit rental company Drum Fetish) Gersh provides a rare insight into Dave Grohl’s exact live and studio drum setup: from kits, snares and cymbals to toy drums and painted two-by-fours…


Dave Grohl's drum setup revealed: Them Crooked Vultures

Good read even if you don't know your crash from your keister. From Part 9:

"He’s also got really good technique - he’s not a ‘basher’ - and his foot technique is unbelievable. He doesn’t pit heads, he’s got a great ‘snap up’ and his dynamic - the way he mixes himself - is incredible. And he hits all his drums with the same velocity that he hits his snare and bass drum. With most guys there is a drop."

"I have 200 pounds of sandbags on that kit to stop it crawling! If I could chain things down I would, but Dave actually likes the way the sandbags look…"

Yum.
That gave me goosebumps.
Not sure why I found that part about the sandbags so thrilling but I did.
Thanks DM.

So glad I looked for this before posting. I figured someone would beat me to it.
The picture gallery alone is worth checking out.

How awesome is that to have your guitar & drum colors match. I dont know... its the little things that please me :-)

I hope I can still find of copy of this mag as Id like to have it. Very interesting.
Like I just dont understand how they can sit so low on the throne and not have their arms or thighs aching afterwards.
