Gear

Tate's gear is chosen with variety and freedom from any one sponsor. On the most recent tour he was outfitted with Ludwig Vistalites (22,13,16). Other sets in Tate's arsenal include a vintage Slingerland (20,12,14),an SJC custom set, and an Orange County Drums and Percussion set. His snares usually include the set snares from the Slingerland and Vistalite kits, also a Tama Starclassic and various Gregg Keplinger snares (used on Planet of Ice). DW hardware is always the choice on each set, he also utilizes Zildjian Cymbals recently introducing a K custom ride into his set up, preferring it over its A custom predecessor. Also, He uniquely angles his ride cymbal backwards to achieve a more sustained and easier accessed shoulder tone. He uses Pro-Mark 2Bs with wood tips.
