Mentioned in this July 2016 Modern Drummer Online interview.

MD: Can you describe your setup and the gear you use?

James: Currently, and for the last three years, I’ve been using a Tama Starclassic kit with an 18×22 kick, a 10×10 rack tom, and a 14×14 floor tom, and a 5.5×14 Ludwig Acrolite snare. I’m playing 16″ Sabian AAX hi-hats and a 16″ flat ride with a 15″ Zildjian K crash on top. On my right side I have a broken 22″ Zildjian Dry Complex ride on top of a 22″ Jack DeJohnette Signature ride, a 12″ UFIP crash, and a 22″ Wuhan China cymbal.
