Gear
Mayer is a long-time Sonor endorser who also uses Sabian cymbals, Vic Firth sticks and Evans Drums Heads. He helped Sonor design the Jungle kit and snare. He has also collaborated with Sabian to create two lines of cymbals, the Vault "Fierce" series, and the AAX "Omni" series. His Vault Fierce cymbals feature a raw, unlathed finish, and extensive hand hammering, while the Omnis are designed to function as both rides and crashes. Mayer usually uses birch Sonor drums and Evans drumsheads in the following sizes:
14" and 13" Snare Drum
10" Tom Tom
14" Floor Tom
8" Tom to the right of the Floor Tom
20" or 18" Bass Drum
Sizes may vary primarily based on local drum availability.
For drumheads (all Evans):
14" Hybrid Coated
14" Hazy 300
12" G Plus Clear
12" G Plus Coated
12" Hydraulic Black

Famous quotes containing the word gear:
“For women ... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“But Lord, remember me and mine
Wi’ mercies temporal and divine!
That I for grace and gear may shine,
Excelled by nane!
And a’ the glory shall be thine!
Amen! Amen!”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
