    Arejay is as cool to talk with, as it is to listen to his outstanding drum skills. Solid player, with killer fills. Without overplaying. HALESTORM ROCKS!!!! 🤘🏼🎶🥁🎸🎤🎶🤘🏼

    Arejay Hale is one of my favorite drummers in modern rock. Thanks for interviewing him, Sweetwater! Really enjoyed learning about how Halestorm gets those toms to sound so huge and thunderous. D6's will do it for sure! I use one on top of my floor tom, now that I've got a Beta52A for kick, and it is absolutely massive in the mix.

    Seems like a cool guy. I like his setup by miking the bottom of his toms. Very interesting. I don't know his background or level of education. But for the love of god someone get him a dictionary or thesaurus. It's hilarious to hear us drummer's make up words for equipment that already has a widely used expression or word already. I loved it when he says "thingy's or doubler foot faster strokes". Best of luck on tour!

      Andy Ham That's what's so great about being a drummer/musician. We get to find our own sound, just the way WE like it. Personally I'm with you! when it comes to having bottom head's, It's a must have for ME. But who's to say I'm right and he's wrong. Keep playing till ya can't play no more!!!

    Awesome video, Nick! But I was wondering, could you make some review's of the Pearl Hybrid Exotic snares? As in the Vectorcast's the Cast Aluminum's and the Kapur/Fiberglasses? There are review's of them on the Pearl Drums RUclips channel, but the drummer who plays them in the drum set setting tunes them so high that they just all sound the same... so I would be really glad if you would make some "proper" review's where you play them with different tunings, with dampening, etc...
    Also, I love the review's that you've already made! Keep 'em coming!

      I used to play single headed all the time( back in the 80's) Some of the best sounding drums I ever heard over the PA were miced up just like that with SM57's stuck up inside about 2" from the heads. The drums sounded like crap without the PA, but the sound guy worked some kind of voodoo magic with them! Maybe he's Halestorm's sound guy now, lol! Got a set of Yamaha Tour Series in 85 and never took the reso head off again.

    WTF do all of these drummers today have only one rack tom and at least 2 floor toms? Totally stupid set up. Uses a d6 on his floor toms and "it sounds like 4 bass drums"??? OK, whatever.
    I get it, everyone has their own style... but it seems everyone is doing this, so it's no longer their "own style" and frankly, it's fucking up the options for other drummers because now the drum companies are only offering these stupid configurations and tom sizes.
