Brad Wilk's Snare Drums
The heart of his sound is his snare drum, a tried-and-true 14? x 6.5? Tama Bell Brass model that for all of its brightness, has an uncanny warmth on tape.
"When I was first in Rage Against The Machine I was using Pork Pie, but even so, when I was in the studio for the first Rage record, the drums I was picking were Gretsch. Gretsch with the Tama Bell Brass snare."

Brad Wilk, the drummer for Rage Against the Machine, used the Pearl Free Floating brass 14x6.5" snare drum for the entire recording of the band's debut album. This is confirmed by Wilk himself in a video by LautenAudio, where he recounts being instructed by producer Garth to choose a snare drum from Guitar Center, eventually selecting the Pearl snare because of its loudness and cutting tone.
