3DW
Rock Band from the Edinboro/Erie PA area.

Dave Tucker - Percussion

About me, In addition to being the drummer for 3DW I am a Computer Science professor at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania which I know is a strange combination.  As my friend Marc likes to say "The cardinality of the intersection of the set of rock drummers and the set of computer science professors is no doubt 1."  What?! 

If you're really board you can check out my University web site.

If you're curious about what I use:

I have a 5-piece set of Pearl maple shell vintage standard drums, black, constructed around the mid 80's.  Currently on them are Remo hydraulic pinstripes on the toms and coated remo ambassador on the snare.  As a side note, I also use Aquarian dampening rings, these really made a very nice difference in removing the overtones.  For the bass I just put on Evans EMAD2 batter bass head and the Evans EMAD Resonant Bass Drumhead, ported.  For the cymbals I have  14" Zildjian high-hats, 18" Zildjian Rock crash, 16" Zildjian Rock crash and a 20" Zildjian medium ride.  Hardware is Yamaha & Pearl.  I also like to use a Latin Percussion high-pitch Jam Block (Blue) and Latin Percussion Black Beauty Cow Bell.   In addition I use Latin Percussion Aspire Congas and Latin Percussion Aspire bongos.  When playing out, Craig, the guitar player, uses these on occasion, even using mallets for the congas and playing his guitar.  For drumsticks I prefer Regal Tip, either Rock or 7A depending on the volume I want to generate.  Lately I've been breaking these but for the most part are very nice.
