George Kollias' Gear
At 0:15 George says, "This is a Pearl Masters complete drumset, it's all maple shell, the maple Masters complete..."
At 3:23: "The AST Dry for both snares, as a top, and I think these are the most controlled sound snares so if I tune a little bit lower, which I like to tune, I still get that crack, you know, and less overtone."
The head visible in the video is the coated version.
"For the toms, I go with the G2s, the double plys, on the top, and the floor toms as well."
At 4:06, "For the toms, I go with the G2s, the double plys, on the top, and the floor toms as well. And I use the G1s on the bottom, as a resonant head."
At 6:05, "Going through the hardware, this is the Pearl Icon rack, okay, this is the curved one, which is a little bit round and the pipes are a little bit longer. Pretty much all the hardware- not pretty much, ALL the hardware- from Pearl."
This rack may be either the 503 or the 513 as both have a curved version.
At 7:15, "This, the hi-hat stand, the H2000, the best out there by far."
At 8:37 George identifies one of his china cymbals as the "AAXtreme 19 inch."
At 8:41: "Two 17 crash from AAX, the dark crash and the studio crash."

At 8:34 George identifies one of his china cymbals as the "HHX 18 inch."
At 8:31 George identifies one of his china cymbals as the "AAX 17 inch."
At 8:22, "I use the Dave Weckl series from HHX, actually this one only now (pointing to the 14 inch china), 14 inch..."
At 8:45 George claims, "I use the AAX X-Plosion crash" but the letters "HHX" are clearly visible on the cymbal. George ascribes no particular size to this crash, but it appears similar in size to the AAX studio crash beside it, although possibly a bit smaller, so it could be the 16 inch version.
At 8:56, "I use this china kang, which is mounted- stacked with a vault 8 inch splash, okay. So both gonna sound like- hits cymbal stack -very stacked, you know."
At 9:11: "10 inch splash, usually I have the HHX Evolution, the Dave Weckl series one, but I'm using a [sic] AAX splash right now."
