Hey This Is Steven Diaz, I doing gear Talk so here's my gear
Rockin on the [Perot] Reference Pure Kids Black
Sounds Amazing
Really Punchy live Really
Fantastic Got a Time of metal snare Here [I] like the metal it got more Crack and it's A 13-inch Sepa 14-inch and it's A
Five and a half inches Deep [so] it's got its got the body but it's
Also tight you know not quite As thin as to pick a little Snares [ass]
[Little] Pro Kleh Have Had This Two
Or Three Years Now and I tell you what I work Hard on Making it Look New and sound New Keep it Shined in and
Keep the Chrome good Because I think like if you Keep it looking new It'll sound new New Heads Keep them
In Top Shape you know wipe them down Keep the sweat and Grime off Them so they Resonate Best
Rival Over here is ten inch and I think it's eight inch Depth and you know
Of Course it's a good high Pitch Begin With in The Middle is A twelve
And then goes [down] to a thirteen Is east of A [fourteen]
On the Bottom but it was so Deep it Interfered With Positioning against the Kick drum, because the kicks are 22 inch
Two of Those Both The Same Size
Two by 21 16-inch Floor Tom
I used to have two floor toms, also and I had a an [8] [inch] Time
Also i kind of Ditched yep Sometimes Years Ago and Went for more Chinese
and Notice
for China's Got them Double Stacked, over Here
And Smaller Ride 20-inch but with A big belt this way it's not Taking up a whole Lot of Room back Here
Interfere and With Them going to the floor [Tom] or any Comment over Here
and i Keep the Two front Moves up high Basically They're all Pasty Alfa's
Just Because They're Made from Metal and They're very Tough that Can Take A beating
And They cut Through all the Noise of death metal is you know Really got A hack Through There Make it Sound good couple of
Smaller Crashes on The Ends for some you know some Accents and the Fatter Crashes in The Middle for some Body and
A small little Set of High hats
They're Heavy Duty but They're, oh These are 14 I had a pair of 13s
I was going with a while These are [14] [Go], they're Nice and Full and Rattling Really do A good Job
Over Here some Access Pedals
Doing the e kits you see Down There
And These Particular Pedals that refurbished them and I've Been Rocking These for 15 Years at [least] There [are] [no]
[Solid] Pedal I really do Enjoy it
Got the Hi-hat Attacks
you do Is drill attachment There
Keep Just a little bit of a gap here on the on the high
Ass so it's [Easily] but not too wide open so you still get some
Fast chops [you] know on the [hats] so they Really Resonate you?
Got it all Rocking on the [Pearl] rack
Everything Looks Nicer and Steady on These Things
Here I mean Nothing
If Something you know it's just Solid and you need to Rely very well
So that's all good, you're Rocking that Nothing's fun
Well you know Had some Kids Early on it was the Early 90s [the] Late 80s but it
Was always A problem because of all the Symbols in The Hardware you need Trying to fit the?
Stands and The Legs and Positioning them Around the, Bass Drums and all this and it was such a hassle
And it was also unsteady because everything what if you
Do get it in Place You start hitting on it and it's Sliding away from you and the
Bass drum [is] Sliding away as
You're Kicking it and all this Nonsense so Instead of Nailing it down to with a riser or whatever Nonsense Putting
Dead weight in The
Bass drum or Paint Cans Or Whatever People Would use to [fab] to
Hold The kit in Place While you're Bashing it and the rack Really solves all Those Problems Especially This One Heavy Duty the Square Pipe
There's no Slippage
Nothing's Going Anywhere it Really is a dream and That's one of the Best
Innovations I Can Think of in gear Since I was Playing is the rack [it] Just Really Solidifies the Kid it's solid Hurricane Can blow
Away
[Stoke] With That and This Kid sounds Great Miked up you know Get A good Shot from the Outside [Tell] you now I
Use House mics but I have a nice Set of mics at the House of Recorder With
[Audax] that I'Ve Had Those for a long Time [who've] got a good deal on them and I demo with Those
but you Know
We do A lot [of] House Shows so just Rely on Their gear This Way
Mine [doesn't] [get] [swiped] or damaged and you know and Usually Everyone has the same mics the
A little Clip on mics hit the Name But They're Really great Everyone Seems azam's on why, we're in mind I?
Know They do A Lot of Custom sticks for Bands and That's great but I never Really Needed one This Is Just the Rock
Which I think is a ruby, oh my god Roughly
Vinyl Tip you know so it pings off The Ride Nice and it's Just you know the
Perfect length Perfect weight you know it's sturdy These Never Break you Chip
Away at I'm pretty Good but you know, they, Never Break, Never Lost Tip and you know They
Allow you to hit hard While you're Playing fast They're Still Wait There to hit Hard With
So it's a great stick and They've Been Really good to me Over the Years and See They do Customer
The Logo and a little Deicide Stick Action so
Thank you to all my gear Providers Pearl and
[Alesis]
Ice-T and Vader and Access so thank you guys and Couldn't do it Without [Yours] Mine isn't this one Trigger unit the Alesis dm5

Just Sample The Kicks that's it run [a] Fireman
And that's it Keep it Simple
Hey Everybody Jack owen from Deicide We're Gonna go over [some] gear key Charge [Pickup] amps Processors all that Crap
Let's start With some Blackheart Guitars out of well what South Dakota now it's Virginia
So I've Been With Them for about Four Years
[Actually] [I] Guess I'll go with the
First one I got from them it's an Ra [2]
Neck Through
Mahogany Body
Rosewood
[I] think it was green but [he] Painted it [for] me Commander Fox [I] still got the game guys [I]
Started With This Because I've Switched over to Rail Hammer Pickups
Just Something I saw Online and I contacted Joe [Nailer]
Totally Cool Guy so this is a great Idea we've got me A second Check out
awesome You've got
Obviously Rails and Then Full Pieces for the high string
Passes Pickup With High Output, Great Clarity
[you] Can Tell if You play like a major Chord to Just hear Every note Ringing out use [ernie] [Ball] and Pulling to
Have A set [lie] on the Seven-String set as an Emergency Backup that's 10 to
56, oh
It Works out I got to pick up some More

So when I called in tune? [they], were like, We got These so i did I?
Did Various Designs at Once Idea, Jack Just for fun I've Had like [Jack] [and] [the] jew When my jewish
I don't know why Just Nickname
Or you know I think that's like A
Under A millimeter that [is] a millimeter
It Varies Depending on you know what what you're doing what you're Playing so play Harder or get A?
Little More Nuance to your Plan
I was with Black Heart for a while and he Wanted to do [the] signature so I set a single [Cutaway]
Two humbuckers it came with [A] [Mgs] but like i said I would Probably switch it out to Rail Hammer
Obviously A Floyd Rose for what we're Doing
Toggle for you know Standard Toggle Volume tone, no
Switching Right Now it's cool to have but you don't Really need it for [deals] on
um this one Has to be Redone With the Rail Hammers and I Usually Just do the Pox and the [Output] [Cat] and
Switch and Everything
So it's a little Crackly right now so I'm sticking with the [R82]
Right Now Cuz it's Totally Redone a ready to go
Let's go to Processor line [Six]
I
Want it using [digitech] stuff Forever and it Just falls Apart eventually and
They Had a new Artist Rep that Just Basically, Wouldn't Replace it Fix it or whatever so i just Found that in A
Music Store

Heavily Heavily Gated Rhythm and Open Rhythm and Then a Brief Lead
But I think Unifies and Delaying and Then A
