Hello there... it's Larry here.  When it comes to talking equipment, I'll be updating this page personally, cuz I loooooooove to talk gear!!

I am VERY particular when it comes to gear selection, and really do believe that it's important for any artist to feel completely comfortable and secure on the instrument they are playing.  With such a large selection of professional gear available these days, I feel we, as musicians, owe it to the music to select the proper instruments to help us create.  Any of the drummers who I look up to do the same.

That's why I play Yamaha Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Vic Firth Drumsticks & Mallets, Remo Drumheads, Puresound Percussion Snare Wires, and Latin Percussion instruments exclusively.  I feel confident that I can find the exact sound and instrument that I'm looking for with the products made by these companies.

I use Future Sonic In-ear monitors for live performances, as well as Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones on most studio work and some of my high volume pit work.  And I'm also a fan of Roc N Soc drumthrones.  Great for us cats who like lots of cushion!

Feel free to email me about gear related issues; I'm always happy to share my insight and experiences.

A NOTE ON SNARES

I have been using Puresound Snare Wires for many years, and can't say enough good stuff about them.  Simply...they will improve the sound of ANY snare drum.  Do yourself a favor and go get a set of them, and throw them on one of your snares.  You will be AMAZED at the difference.  They are so consistent and allow you much better control over your snare sound, articulation and dynamics of the drum.  Give 'em a shot.  And when I'm playing rock gigs... I will usually use the new BLASTERS model.  They are LOUD yet still remain musical and sensitive.  I just love 'em!
