5 Products I Couldn’t Live Without
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I would pay homage to the products that I simply could not function without. Lets get right into it!
1) Vater 5B, and 5A Los Angeles Wood Tip Sticks
Vater 5B’s are my primary stick, but I value both of these sticks equally. I use the 5B’s for all of my heavier, rock type stuff, and the Los Angeles’ for anything lighter. I work with a lot of singer/songwriters and the los angeles’ allow me to play lighter with the same amount of control.

2) Moongel
I can’t say enough about this product. It’s simply essential for studio situations, and should be part of any studio musicians arsenal. This little gem has helped me out on many occasions, and allowed me to eliminate hours of tuning and tweaking in the studio.

3) Remo Coated Ambassador
This is, I believe, one of the most versatile heads on the market. I have used it for many different tunings, and have gotten some great sounds with it. It is my go to head whenever I’m in doubt.

4) LP Softshake
I have used this shaker in countless musical situations. It achieves a great balance between attack and great tone, and Is a solid addition to anyones gear bag. It also tracks extremely well.

5) DW 7000 PX Double Pedal
This is the best, and only pedal I have ever played. It was the first pedal I ever purchased, and having tried countless others in music school, and other random situations, still my favorite. It allows me to get the perfect balance between weight and tension for maximum control.
