Most of you would probably not know about Neil’s Pre therapy days, so i’m going to list the equipment he used before and during the Therapy days.

The Beyond days.

The beyond was Neil’s first band with a record contract. In those days, Neil used a Pearl Mapel 7 piece kit with 2 20 x 16 inch bass drums, a free floating snare, and toms, 10, 12, 14 and 18. He Uses powerstroke 3 heads on the bass drums and Snare drums, and pint stripes on the toms. Cymbals were a mixture of Zildjian, Sabian and Paiste. A pair of 14 inch Avedis Zildjian rock high hats, an 18 inch Rock Crash from Avedis, An avedis medium 19 inch crash [i think, i’ll have to ask him!] A paiste alfer power crash 20 inches, a 20 inch avedis zildjian Ping ride, a 20 inch china boy low, and a paiste signiture 10 inch splash.

The garilla days.
Garilla is actually the beyond’s New name, and they didn’t last long. Neil Uses the Same kit, but on 1 song, he used a Premia 22 x 18 bass drum.

Cable Days.
Another derby based Band, And Neil is still using the same Kit.

When I first Met Neil, He’d just had an indorsment from Zildjian, A pair of 14 inch Avedis zildjian rock high hats, an 18 inch Avedis Zildjian rock Crash, a 19 inch Z custom medium crash [used as a crash ride], a 20 inch Z custom ride, a 20 inch Z custom china, and a zilbell cymbal size unknown.

He also has a 22 inch Avedis zildjian ride, which he never uses. But he lent it to me in april 2003.

Therapy days.

Just before he Joined therapy, He switched from Pearl Drums to Mapex Drums [Note, he isn’t indaused by them, he only plays them]. I had a brief go on his kit in the shop, and it sounded fantastic!. Compaired to the pearl, the mapex kit is toned down in number of components, and he changed the bass drum sizes to 22 x 18. For toms, he uses 12 and 18 toms only. Snare drums, he retained the free floating snare drum, though on songs like Hay saten, you rock, stand in line, and rust to name a few, He uses a 14 by 6.5 mapex maple snare drum. As for drum heads, He experimented with several different heads, but now he plays aquarian heads exclusively. For the sessions for high angziety, he used the same cymbal set up, until both crash cymbals, the china and the Ride cracked in amsterdam, and zildjian failed to send any replacements. so now, he uses sabian, plus the zilbell that he retained from the original zildjian set up.

Vertually all of his career, he uses Vickfirth 5a drum sticks, reasons being that the stick is thin, and light.

And that fokes is it! hope you injoyed it!
