The Resistance Drum Kit

If you are a big fan of Dom and his drumming skills, then this is the section for you!
Here we document the various drum kits that he uses, as it often changes from tour to tour.

Dom is currently an endorser of DW drums and he uses kits which are customised by the brand.

He has used various kits over the years of various brands and various sizes.

Without a handy guide like this to his drum kits, if could be tricky to work out what exactly he is using. Working it out alone involves as much luck as games of bingo but we’re not sure it’ll be as fun.

If you want to use a kit like Dom then keep checking back to this section of the website to see what he is currently using and how it can be built up.

This page documents his recent change from Tama to DW drums to coincide with The Resistance tour. However, you can still read all about his Black Holes & Revelations Kit
