Absolutely fantastic! You have so much control over your sound and your overall framework! I'm a percussion major and preparing auditions for when I graduate next winter. Cirque du Soleil is honestly my dream job!

[@BRunkel07]

That one "dislike" is a shame...this is freaking killer!

[@nilsjensen5069]

I love the sound! Does anyone know what heads and hats he's using? Thanks :)

[@bluemars0808]

[@garypugh1153]

Tight drum heads and small cyms........most technical drumming on utube 😎

[@jamesthedrummer3362]

Darrin Great Job !! Please what make are the cymbals and their sizes ?

[@TheRofl101]

Piccolo snare.

[@aaronsmith550]

Let me guess Drum Workshop (DW)

[@sourcefor]

do you have to buy your own drums? Or does cirque provide anything for you!?

[@rogierhornman]

Who sets the click track on every cue?

[@arturojimenezgalicia328]

I love 6:49

[@garypugh1153]

hate to say it again, but this is inspiring . i'm fixing my drum set almost exact. can you tell me what inch is your remote snare? 10 or 12" thanx

[@darrinjohnson27]

Gary Pugh - That would be a 10" snare to the left of the hi-hat. Thanks again for all of your kind words. All the best!

[@DJMikersshortround]

what's the drum to the left of his snare called?

[@diegoazcuy300]

Side snare

[@fredericlinden]

God those drums heads are tight... And unfortunately, hits on snare are disproportionately loud (or "how can constant rim-shots show sensitivity or lack thereof...). I'm sorry...

[@simonwalker2073]

You're a knob end.
