Bill Bachman'S SETUP:

  1. I especially love my 22" K light & 22" K Constantinople Bounce rides
  2. 13" K & 14" Armand hi hats
  3. and I have a pair of 18" K Custom Session crashes that are on just about everything I've recorded since I got them about 10 years ago.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I love a ride with a strong stick click and a very separate low wash, my thinner K rides all give me that. The hats are very articulate so you can really play intricate vocab and it translates, and the crashes are lush and full with no harsh overtones.
