One large djembe by Everyone’s Drumming. These handdrums have been in and out (always in but sometimes not in the stage configuration). Can be played w/hands or sticks. Set up to the left of the hi-hat, next to the set of Brass Timbales 12" and 13". I use the 12" mostly; the 13" is used as a trap table. Quite handy and functional.

Drum Heads by Remo Inc., White coated Ambassadors on snare and tom batter. Clear Ambassadors on bottom tom. Coated Power Stroke on bass Drum batter. White coated Ambassador on bd front. White coat Ambassadors on Timbales.

Cymbals by Sabian. The top cymbal manufacturer in the world. I’m very proud to use their cymbals and be a part of this organization. 15" HHX Groove Hats 18"and 19" HHX Extreme Crash 21" Med. HH Ride 13" El Sabor Crash w/3 rivets 6", 8", 10" AAX Splash Alternates: I love all HH and HHX series. Some special 18" and 20" HH Crash/Ride, 24" Prototype Dark Ride, 16"HH Dark Crash.

Cowbell-Ridge Rider by LP. Mounted on the bass drum and turned upside down. The plastic ridge on the under side. Sounds best the stick hitting the metal edge.

Matt plays Vater 5B Nude Series Signature drum sticks. Matt also uses Vater cymbal locks on all of his cymbal stands.
