Rob Bourdon uses a vintage Gretsch 14"x6.5" Chrome Over Brass Snare Drum, crafted in the late 1970s, as noted in Modern Drummer Magazine.

The band is also employing a wide selection of A-T hard-wired microphones, including the AT4050 on guitars and overheads; AT4047 on guitar cabinets; AE2500 on kick; ATM350 on rack and floor tom; ATM450 on hi-hat; AE5100 on ride; and AT835STs for audience.

This Catalina Club Mod complete drum set was signed on the bass drum by members of Linkin Park, and played by Rob Bourdon at the 2007 MTV Music Awards. It features a large Linkin Park logo on the bass drumhead. All proceeds from the sale of this kit will go to he Music For Relief charity. Comes with a complete set of Zildjian cymbals.

With the power and warmth of the mahogany shells, the 22" x 20" bass drum, and retro black stripe over a asilver finish, the Catalina Club Mod offers the looks and features of a pro kit without the high price you would expect to see in this style of setup.

Gretsch Catalina Club Mod sets the stage for the modern player with tonal and visual distinction. Club Mod's mahogany shells pump out deep tones from the extra-deep 20"x22" bass drum, 6.5"x14" snare drum and one up, one down tom set-up. Black hoops and black offset lugs compliment flashy drum finishes. Characterized by bold looks with a thunderous sound, the Club Mod is a killer drum set for modern clubs.

Rob Bourdon uses the Gibraltar 4700 Hardware Pack as part of his drum setup, as noted in his biography on the Linkin Park Association website.

"What I love about Vater Drum Sticks is that they are always consistent. I can pick up any pair and right away they become an extension of my body. Chad Brandolini and the team over at Vater have always taken great care of me. I have never gone stickless any where in the world."
