JAN 20, 2016 Glen Sobel made an announcement on his Facebook page regarding his switch to DW Drums: “As of January of 2016 I am officially an endorser of DW Drums!! I've been playing their pedals/hi-hat stands for around 16 years so I'm very familiar with this great company. I'm excited to be a part of this new drum family!”
Bass drums (x2): 18×22? with red leather hoops Floor toms: 14×14?, 16×16?, and 16×18?, with graduated triple-flanged hoops High toms: 8×10? and 9×12?, with graduated triple-flanged hoops Snare drums (x2): 6.5×14? Collector’s Series Knurled Steel snare

"I take great pleasure in introducing my new signature stick from Regal Tip - The "Sobelizer"....that's right...the Sobelizer! A year in the making, this is the stick I officially rock out with. At 66 grams, it lies somewhere between the weight of a 7B & Metal X. More mid & top-heavy for those FAT backbeats but also not too much for the more finesse type playing and busier drumming."
3:07 "These are some big-ass sticks, it's the biggest kind of stick I've ever used it's the Metal X by Regal Tip. It's the biggest sticks that they make short of marching sticks."
Listed in his artist page that he uses the red Vater Grip Tape
Before he switched to DW, he was a Mapex artist.
"Mapex Saturn. That is what I have been playing since the start of this tour. And what they set me up with, 2 bass drums: 22x18", we've got a flying 10", you gotta love that, that took a little bit of getting used to but, this gig needs a wide array of tom sizes, so 10 down to 18. We've got 10", 12", 13", 16", 18". I got the 16" on the left, makes things more interesting

"Excited to welcome Glen Sobel as a Vater Drumsticks Artist! Glen is currently on tour with Alice Cooper as well as Hollywood Vampires! Glen is using the Vater Xtreme Design 5A and Power 3A"
"We got the blade snare drum. This is a great snare Mapex has been making. It's a steel 5.5x14" drum and it's the same version as the machete which is an inch deeper and we started using the machete, now we're using the blade. We're just keeping it fresh, mixing it up."
