People always see the performance, but they don’t always see the investment that goes into becoming a professional musician.

What you’re looking at in this video is just one of my two DW Collector’s Series drum kits. The shell pack alone was over $8,000 before adding snares, cymbals, electronics, hardware, cases, and everything else that comes with building a professional touring and recording setup.

Snares:
🥁 14x5 DW Collector’s Pure Maple Cherry
🥁 12x3 Custom Night Owl Snare Drum
🥁 14x5 DW Collector’s Steel Snare
🥁 14x5 DW Collector’s Purpleheart Snare

Cymbals:
🔥 Zildjian K Series all over the setup, plus practice cymbals and specialty effects cymbals.

Electronics:
⚡ Roland electronics, pads, triggers, and hybrid components integrated into the kit.

and yet still not including the Mics cables, Drum heads, Mike stands DAW’s, plug-ins, soundproofing , EIM’s • 
Then you got your stuff for live stage Sound. 

This isn’t a post to brag. It’s a reminder that investing in your craft matters. Every piece of gear represents years of hard work, sacrifices, gigs, studio sessions, and reinvesting back into the thing I love most—music.

If you want to operate at a professional level, you have to be willing to invest in yourself, your sound, your skills, and your vision.

Nobody handed me this setup. & I didn’t get it from accumulating it overtime , I worked for it.

Keep building. Keep practicing. Keep investing in your craft. The results will speak for themselves.
