#Dave grohl unplugged cracked#
Dave, on two occasions, hit the crash so hard that the top of the stand cracked off and the cymbal came flying into his lap it looked like some kind of practical joke, but it was real. I think that Tama may have corrected the flaw but, at the time, it was as if the cymbals would cut right through the metal at the top of the stand.

Mike Dalke: The thing I remember specifically is that the cymbal stands would be gaffer tapedĪnd sand-bagged to the riser so firmly that the force from Dave's sticks would go from theĬymbal directly to the spindle at the top of the stand, and the spindles would only last about four shows at the most. Him we would have two with us on tour in case one got messed up. Hardware Tama Titan Series + Sonor Custom Jones: Mostly Tama, but we had a special Hi-Hat stand by Sonor, since it was the only kind that was tall enough for The Kick head was a Remo Clear Powerstroke II, and on the outside was usually an Ebony Ambassador with a 6" hole off-centre. The Tom heads were Remo Pinstripes on the top and Clear Ambassadors on the bottoms (these heads were changed before every show). Heads Aquarian + Remo Jones: We only used Aquarian Hi-Energy heads on the snare as it was the only brand that wouldn't break.

They didn't make many of those and he broke that one within a year!). Cymbals Zildjian A Series Mediumīarrett Jones: Dave used only Zildjian As (the one time he used something else was with Scream when he had a 28" Paiste for a Ride/Crash. This was Dave's chief set-up for the In Utero tour, a Tama Rockstar-Pro also saw a lot of road.
