Scott Travis

DW offers the ability to create custom drums within their collector's series. Scott Travis gives details about his custom set in the video here.

Scott always used Tama Drums until 2008. He received his most famous Tama kit (Starclassic?) in 2004 for the Ozzfest tour and was eventually sold on Ebay. The maple kit was wrapped in a chrome vinyl that was glued to the outside of the shells. Bass drums (2) were 24" x 24"; closed rack toms: 7" x 8"; 8" x 10"; 8" x 12"; 10" x 14"; floor toms: 16" x 16" and 16" x 18". Aluminum snare was 5.5" x 14". Two Iron Cobra bass drum pedals; legless hi hat; d-drum triggers on the 12"; 14"; 18" toms and snare.

A description of Scott's setup can be found on the Paiste website.

These are the hi-hats Scott typically uses. He uses two pairs, one on both sides of his set.

Some of his favored crashes!

Uses two of these 20 inchers along with two 18" and two 19".

The china he uses to get those awesome blasts on songs like Painkiller!

Scott has also mentioned the use of RUDE cymbals peridocially as well, such as on the Nostrodamus tour.

Doesn't used RUDEs that much anymore but did for a while.

Scott favors Vater's rock model of sticks.

In a letter from D'Addario:

"Looking back at some invoices, here’s what I got:

EC2 Clears for most tom batters, and EC Resos for the reso sides.

Some Super30s, Custom Pros and Blasters Snare Wires and a Hazy300 and 500 Snare Side Reso.

EMAD2 Clear and EQ3 Clear, as the bass batter with some aramid fiber patches."
