Coady Willis' Drum Sets
I play a DW Collector’s series kit made of cherry wood; it’s my favorite. The cherry really adds warmth while still packing a mighty punch, almost making the drums sound a bit bigger than they really are. I have a 9×13 rack tom, 16×16 floor tom, and a 14×24 kick. The snare is a DW 8″-deep black nickel over brass. It is sensitive with tons of crack, with an almost woodsy low end. I also have a set of tuned steel blossom bells made by Pete Englehart.

He also specifies the configuration as including a 24"x14" kick drum, a 13" tom, a 14" rack tom, and 16" and 18" floor toms.
He said:
I think they sound absolutely fantastic. And, uh, I think they look pretty good, too.
