Mike use Tama Silverstar in tour with Adrenaline Mob

During the DVD commentary for Live at Tokyo, Mike points out that the kit being used for the show is his first professional one, a Tama Imperialstar. Given the time period, it would've been made in Japan and of notably higher quality than the current production line, but still an economical kit given the history.

In this YouTube video by LoudWire at 1:55, you can see First Act written on the bass drum head. Throughout the video, he is playing the limited edition Pokemon wrap. Much to his chagrin, he is playing with orange star cymbals (he really wanted the blue ones).
