Stacey Lamont Sydnor: ENDORSEMENTS

Mapex Drums

I use the Orion, Saturn and Pro M Series.

Vater Drumsticks

Vater sticks are simply the best sticks out there! Here's what I use:

Fatback 3A
Sturdy shoulder and neck with a rounded barrel tip for volume.

L 16" D .590"
Wood:VH3AW

8A
Small barrel-shaped tip for defined cymbal articulation. Very responsive.

L 16" D .555"
VH8AW

Sabian Cymbals

Much more than a cymbal manufacturing company, SABIAN is a collection of dedicated and very talented individuals whose only focus is to create the finest cymbals and percussion instruments possible.

Here's my cymbal set up:

13in Bright HH Hats
18 & 19 in Evolution Crash
18in AAX Crash
18in Legacy Crash
20 in Ozone
10in Ozone Splash
21in Raw Bell Dry Ride (HH)
16in HHX Chinese
22in David Garibaldi Signature Ride

Phatfoot "Harness"

Phat Foot™ solves the problem of the bass drum & high hat sliding out of place created by the force of the drummer's foot kicking the pedal. It stabilizes the movement of the bass drum/hat by harnessing and anchoring the drum seat to the drum/hat pedal which is attached to the drum/hat linking all three into one solid and complete unit. Phat Foot™ is the perfect replacement for awkward carpets, and the hazards related to using ropes or chains are eliminated.
