Tell Me More About Rick Allen And His Drum Kit,eg What Kind Of Drums,which Foot Pedal Does He Use?

After Allen's accident, some unique thinking came into play in order to keep him behind the drum set. Simmons, a company noted for making electronic drum sets, designed a custom kit for Allen. Since electronic drums are little more than "triggers" which sense a hit from a drumstick or the motion of a pedal, Allen's kit was primarily pads in front of him and to his right (to play with his remaining arm), and primarily pedals on his left, which triggered the sound of snare drums and tom-toms. Allen would learn how to play patterns with his right hand and left foot that drummers would ordinarily play with their right and left hands. Allen has also experimented with what he calls "technology stunts" using hardware from companies such as ddrum and Acupad.

In more recent years, as the "80s sound" has all but disappeared, Allen's sound would change to a more "acoustic," natural sound, still through the use of samplers. In this case, the samplers were loaded with actual recordings of Allen's acoustic kit, so that in the final mix, it is difficult to tell between the drum sounds in the samplers and the drums actually struck during the performance.

Allen's current setup is custom-manufactured by Whirlwind and Hart Dynamics. ......from wikipedia.com
