IneedYou23 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Does anyone know what kind of drum set will uses? I want to get a similar set.It looks pretty basic.I dont know much about drums. Does anyone know what all 4 cymbal or crash things are called? If anyone could help me out that would be great!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yamaha Silver Sparkle Drums: 24” Kick Drum 16” Floor Tom 12” Rack Tom Maple Absolute 14” Snare 2 x Brady 14” Snare All Yamaha Hardware Zildjian: 14” A Custom Hi-Hats, or 14” K Custom Hi-Hats 18” A Custom Crash 22” K Custom Ride 19” A Custom Crash or 19” K Custom Crash 5A Wood – Natural Drumstick Remo skins. I think this Yamaha kit might be quite expensive so perhaps you could buy a cheaper one and then pimp it out with some new cymbals and skins. I got a Premier Olympic for about £230 and so far it's been excellent. I think Will uses different combinations of A and K Custom cymbals from time to time - I've seen A and K hats, A crashes, K crashes etc... in various photos. Alyssa may have a better idea as she is amazing. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 No problem, there's a load of Coldplay songs tabbed out for drums here: http://www.mattsmusicpage.com/cpdrum.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yeah I bet Will's drums are crazy expensive. They do look kind of cheap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mariachi Loco Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah, probably. Talking about drums, by my opinion the by far biggest and most expensive drum set award goes to... Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater. Check them out lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm confused, I thought Will used Yamaha... http://bradydrum.com/will-champion.html http://www.bradydrums.com.au/news-detail.html?&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=15&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=377&cHash=c8f2d42a69 That 2nd link mentions the release of X&Y, as if Will had been using Brady very recently, even though I'm sure he's always been Yamaha. Are Brady and Yamaha the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Brady and Yamaha definitely aren't the same. I think he only uses Brady snares, and Yamaha for the rest of the kit and the prized bass drum logo. :) Drummers often use custom snares I think--most commercial drum companies don't offer drums with more than 15 plies of wood and the bearing edges are standard single 45 degree angles rather than double cut... besides DW, hehe. And the snare is probably the most important drum of the kit. :) And Mike Portnoy doesn't have the biggest drum kit--Neil Pert wins that contest. :laugh3: And I think that drum set that you posted (portnoy's) is actually used for duel drumming--two people use that set at a time. I saw a video of him using it with Jason Bittner but I can't find it anymore. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The dream theatre kit in that pic is indeed a duel kit. (you can clearly see two drum stools in the pic). Will's Kit is actually, relatively simple, compared to what most drummers in acts the profile of Coldplay use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I know this thread has been inactive for a long time, but I must say I don't see how this can be Will's correct setup. He clearly doesn't have three snares in his current kit. Unless, that's a list of snares he's used in the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 They'll just be the 3 different snares he used during the recording process for AROBTTH I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'm thinking he changes them out frequently too. In some clips you can clearly see him playing the brady snare (it has a different finish from the rest of the kit) yet in others he seems to be playing a snare in an identical (or at least similar) finish to his other drums.
