Donovan Melero

In this Instagram post from Hail the Sun, Allen Casillas (the live drummer of Hail the Sun whom shares gear with Donovan) is seen with the artisan crash on the bottom right.

Donovan Melero uses the Sabian 18" AAX X-Plosion Crash as his main crash cymbal during concert shows and while recording albums. It is notably heard in his "Culture Scars" album and is positioned as his left crash cymbal above the high tom, as shown in the image proof.

In the YouTube video “Hail the Sun - Missed Injections drum/vocal playthrough,” Donovan Melero can be seen using a Sabian AAX Raw Bell 21” Ride Cymbal, as the inscription “Raw Bell” 21 inch is slightly visible on his ride cymbal. This cymbal is also used by Melero during live performances and can be prominently heard on the “Wake” album.

Donovan Melero uses the Zildjian 14” K Sweet Hi-Hat, as evidenced in the video titled "Hail The Sun - Missed Injections [Donovan Melero] Drum Video Live [HD]," which visually confirms the use of this specific gear.

Donovan Melero uses the Zildjian 9.5'' Zil-Bel cymbal on his ride cymbal, Sabian 21 inch AAx Raw Bell, except it is flipped upside to make blast beats more powerful and he shows this during live performances of "Human Target Practice," as evidenced in a live drum video by Drummers Anonymous on YouTube.
