Matt Sorum's Drum Sets
Matt Sorum used a Yamaha Rock Tour Custom drum set during the Guns N' Roses "Use Your Illusion" tour from 1991 to 1993. This setup included an 18" x 24" bass drum, a 3 1/2" x 12" brass piccolo snare, an 8" x 14" recording snare drum, a 12" x 14" mounted tom, 16" x 16" and 16" x 18" floor toms, and a 20.5" Ludwig timpani. A YouTube video showcases Sorum playing and autographing a similar set at a 1992 clinic.

In the video above, Sorum teaches the technique and demonstrates how to impart that certain swing.
He also shows off his brand-new drum kit: a custom, round badge Gretsch Broadkaster kit Gretsch made for him specifically for his tour with Billy. "Mr. Billy Gibbons likes silver sparkle. He requested silver sparkle," he says. A Gretsch USA Bell Brass Snare and a collection of large Zildjian Sweet K cymbals, 16" hats, and a Constantinople crash round out the set.
