"I've played all kinds of drums kits, and nothing comes close to the sound I achieve with Yamaha drums. The clients, artists, and engineers that I work for demand the absolute top of the line sound. I get that with Yamaha drums. When I hit my Yamaha's, the smiles in the control room and at the front of house console in the arena say everything."
