slightly late reply to remarks about joey baron... judging by the sound, he indeed uses jazz kits on the recordings i know. also, when i’ve seen him play live (usually in the bimhuis, amsterdam), he used the jazz kits that were there: 18” bass, 12” tom, 14” floor tom. nc amsterdam was different: 4 piece rock sized drum kit, hole in front head of bd. and yes, a double pedal. speaking of which: any drummers out there who have ideas about creatively (... what’s wrong with elitism?) using one? in not-necessarily-metal (how’s that for a label) settings?
