Welcome,
I often get asked about this kit so here is the full rundown. My kit is a Mapex Mars series kit, obviously in a double bass configuration. This kit is all birch with a matte black wrap and matching hardware. Being that I primarily play metal having a punchy, loud birch kit was really important to me, and this kit has tons of punch and volume. Paired with a Pearl Joey Jordison signature snare and this kit really brings it, and the matching black Mars series hardware is pretty solid, though I haven't travelled with it much. For all the drums I use Evans Black Chrome heads. On the kick drums I use EQ3's on the batter side and ONYX reso-side heads.

Recording
My recording setup is fairly simple. I use two Apex DP-6 Microphone packs for my Toms and Kicks and Overheads, and a Shure SM-57 on both Snares. I use a Yorkville VGM-14 mixer in a Focusrite Scarlett. I mainly use Ableton Live to track, and Adobe Premier to edit content.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed this Rundown.
