"I play Gretsch drums. Big ones. I swear by them. and have done since I had money to buy drums. I've just acquired a Simmons SDS7; I could never replace the Gretsch with electronic drums, but they are useful. I use a Claptrap — that I find is a great effect; and the SDS7 is a great thing — it's a great toy, a great computer. It's a versatile thing to use."
