Dominic Howard, drummer for the band Muse, uses Promark Hot Rods as part of his drum setup. According to information from Musedrums, these drumsticks are crafted from premium select birch dowels, providing excellent consistency and feel. The unique wrap near the neck offers a tight sound and enhanced durability, making them a preferred choice for dynamic performances.
"Dom loves that mic because of its clicky feel, and also uses it live — and we had a [Neumann] FET47 on the outside kick drum, which was placed kind of exactly in the middle of the hole in the resonance skin, and because you get that blast, we had to put a pop filter on it." - Colliva about "Drones" recording.
During the iTunes Festival 2012 performance of "Supermassive Black Hole," Dominic Howard uses a Shure SM58 microphone, as seen in the YouTube video by Louis Genasi.
