Charlie Heather

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlie Heather (born 2 February 1964 in West Wickham, Kent, England) is the drummer for the contemporary British rock band The Levellers.

Charlie uses a Yamaha Stage Custom Maple 4-piece drum kit, Zildjian cymbals and Pro-Mark drumsticks. He is not endorsed by any of these companies.

His setup is a 16" floor tom, 14" rack tom, 14" x 6" snare drum and a 22" bass drum. Cymbals vary but usually include 14" Zildjian K Custom hi-hats, 21" ride, two 18" crashes and occasionally a china. When the band play "The Boatman", Charlie usually comes to the front of stage with a 16" rack tom strapped in a marching band style.

His drums have not changed over the years; old video footage of the band shows the same kit on stage at Glastonbury in 1994 and in concerts to the present day.
