Raymond is renowned for his use of triggers to achieve his defined drum sound but he now only triggers his 20"x18" bass drums with ddrum 4s, so his tuning has changed. "I used 22"s for a long time but I moved on to 20"s. I seem to get a tighter sound and I feel like I can play faster on 20"s. I don't know if it's a mental thing?" "My tuning is very standard too. I used to tune higher when I triggered my toms because if the drums are too loose the sensitivity goes out of whack with the triggers." Raymond also has a passion for all things Zildjian. "Anything that Zildjian makes I pretty much love," he says. "I normally go with New Beat hi-hats and the Earth ride because it's really heavy. As for crashes, everything Zildjian makes is incredible, from the Darks to the Avedis line." Plus... Power Tower custom rack system, Tama hardware including Wide Rider drum throne, two DW5000 bass drum pedals, Attack drum heads, ddrum4 triggers, Korg D1200 studio and Pro-Mark 5A Oakwood nylon tip sticks. More details about his drum setup available.
