Eric Renick'S SETUP:

  1. I have a set of 18" K Symphonic Prototypes that I just love. They have so much power for 18"s. Their articulation can cut through the orchestra and the character of the crashes are shockingly versatile. I can use these in lots of different repertoire by adjusting my hands and impact speeds.
