Simon Crahan, the drummer, uses an SJC 13"x6.5" Gabrielle Crahan Tribute Snare Drum, as he detailed in an episode of "Gear Masters" by Digital Tour Bus. He describes it as a tribute to his late sister, featuring gold hardware, a white shell with purple splatters. Crahan expresses a personal preference for the drum's dimensions, noting its comfort due to his height and leg size, and mentions how its size was influenced by his admiration for Joey Jordison's Signature Snare. This information was shared directly by Crahan during the video, providing clear proof of his gear choice.
2:00 "I fell in love with Joey Jordison's Signature Snare which was a 6.5x13", I used to play that for a long time, and it just felt... right, you know what I mean?"
Simon Crahan, the drummer, confirmed in an episode of "Gear Masters" on Digital Tour Bus that he uses a Zildjian 21'' A Mega Bell Ride in his setup. He mentioned, "My ride is on the left hand side. For anyone who doesn't know, I'm left handed so I play open handed. I got a Mega Bell A Custom 21". This thing is a f**king beast. Really good for blast beats, really good for bell parts. Having fun with it. Never clean it though because it just sounds way better dirty." This statement provides direct evidence of the specific gear he utilizes during performances.
