Naturally, Bostaph’s Yamaha drum kits include dual bass drums, sized 22" x 18". His main kits are Oak Customs and Live Customs. “We actually have three or four complete rigs because of all the leapfrogging Slayer does when we’re on tour,” he explains. “I’m also getting a new Absolute Hybrid kit for our upcoming run. I’d always been a maple guy, but I’ve had sound guys complain to me that maple drums aren’t bright enough. With these drums I have warmth, brightness, and power. I recently recorded two songs with Slayer using the Oak Customs, and they sounded and tracked great.” Paul’s kits also include 10", 12", and 14" rack toms, 16" and 18" floor toms, and sometimes a 20" gong drum.
