Gear we use · Gear we trust · Gear we recommend
Personal advice first, then a product. We do not believe you become a better drummer by buying more gear — often we advise buying nothing at all. What we do recommend, we use ourselves every day during lessons, Drum Sound Sessions and on the instruments of The Drum Vault. The most important thing we offer is not a drumstick or a drum head — it is honest advice. And everyone is welcome to come and pick things up — you do not have to be a student. Simply in The Hague, six days a week.
"If I had to start over tomorrow…" — the gear that gets used here every single week.

The benchmark stick every other pair is measured against. Balanced and predictable — a logical starting point for almost every drummer and style.
“Probably the stick I recommend most often. Not because it is the best for everything, but because it is an excellent starting point for most drummers.”

Solid 12" pad on wood with a realistic rebound. Quiet enough for home, sturdy enough to last for years.
“The pad we recommend to students for home practice: quiet, solid, with a rebound close to a real snare.”

Closed headphones that isolate ambient noise well, so you hear your music and metronome clearly while playing. Comfortable, also for young drummers.
“The headphones we use in the studio ourselves when playing along to music: good isolation, comfortable and affordable.”
Reliable, well balanced, consistent quality. No gimmicks, just solid tools.
