Before switching to Pearl, he was a Ludwig Artist Sizes: 26x16" Kick Drum 14x14" Rack Tom (normally he used a 14x10" rack tom) 16x16" Floor Tom 18x16" Floor Tom While on tour in Manchester, England 2012 1:38 "It's kinda funny about this kit, it's not mine. laughs This kit actually, we borrowed from our dear friends in the band Black Stone Cherry, our good friends from Kentucky. Great guys, hell of a band. John Fred (Young), their drummer, recently switched over from Ludwig Drums to DW drums. So they had this kit over here that they weren't using. So, they were gracious enough to let us use it while we were here."

3:35 "My first drum company that I was sponsored by was Ludwig. And, you know, growing up with John Bonham, and being a massive Led Zeppelin fan as a kid, that was like one of the things that made me want to play. So, when I got sponsored by Ludwig, the first thing that I wanted to get was the exact John Bonham set-up 14x26' Kick, 14' (rack tom), 16' (floor tom), 18' (floor tom), you know, the supraphonic snare, and all that, very simple set up, even a speed king pedal. I loved it, but unfortunately at the time, Ludwig had a hard time providing drum kits for us across the world, so I had no choice but to move to a more global company."
