Jared endorses the following companies...

Ludwig Drums
My Ludwig Classic Maple kit is strong and solid. The tone of the all maple drums is bright enough to cut through a big band, but still warm and full-bodied on tape.

I use the Hickory TX5BW. This stick is versatile enough to handle the big stage, as well as the sensibilities needed in a small room. Pro-Mark's sticks are well balanced, never warped, and have a great feel.

When I switched to Istanbul - Agop cymbals, all complaints from the front house engineer ceased. Live or in the studio, these cymbals sit in the mix better than anything I have ever played.

Ludwig Drum Heads
Ludwig medium coated is my head of choice. It has the perfect amount of resonance, and it is strong and durable.



I need pedals that are fast, smooth, and most important, completely SILENT. With the most innovative hardware design on the market today, Axis Percussion pedals stand up to the test. I currently am using the Axis X Single Pedal for both the kick and Hi Hat.
