Drum Sets used by Ronnie Vannucci, Jr. on Sam's Town
"Yes, it’s all Craviotto. I was hung up on vintage gear for a long time, and I had a ton of stuff in my garage. I used it all on Sam’s Town. At the end of the day I settled on Ludwig drums and various snare drums–Supra-Phonics, a 6 1/2×14 Leedy Black Elite, Radio Kings, and a Craviotto I had. But Day And Age is all Craviotto."

Zildjian 18" K Constantinople Crash
Avg price: $506.07
"Live, I wanted to get a different hi-hat sound, so on the first gig for Sam’s Town I had an old 18? A Zildjian ride from the ’40s and a K Constantinople crash that I put together for a pair of hi-hats. That was the winning combination. And there was one track where I used two 22? K Constantinople rides, one high and one low, for the hi-hats."
