Instrument and Equipment List

Recommended Equipment list:
Most of these links take you just one item. I always recommend checking with local businesses, like Explorer's Percussion and Meyer Music. They can order anything for you. Also, try doing a google search if you want to shop for different prices.
Upgrade your practice pad. I always recommend 12" pad and NOT the 6" for ease of use.
Vic Firth Double Sided 12" Practice Pad
Evans Real Feel 12" Practice Pad
Offworld Percussion Invader V3
BYOS Offworld Percussion Pad (this is the one I use in lessons)
MUSIC STAND This is pretty much a requirement. It's near impossible to put music in a good spot to read without one. The manhassett stands are great, but pricier. I have included a cheaper option that is better than the old "wire" stands.
MARCHING SNARE STICKS. For those who play marching snare, or are working on marching snare in lessons
Innovative Percussion Field Sticks
CONCERT SNARE STICKS
MALLETS
Entire Search Results on Steve Weiss Website, Any of these would be great
DRUMSET STICKS I recommend size 5A, 5B or 7A
SNARE DRUM
Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Snare 14 x 5.5 in.
Ludwig Supralite Snare Drum - 5.5 x 14 inch
DRUMSET
