Gear List
Take a look at Hayden's current studio setup is listed below:
I have numerous kits, snare drums and cymbals to accomplish every sound that a session could possibly call for. Each individual drum and cymbal fills a very specific gap in my sonic pallette from a bright, puchy pop sound to a deep fat 70s sound and everything in between.

Snare Drums
DW Performance Series - 14x6.5 - This drum has an incredible pop which helps it stick out in a mix but also blend really nicely.
PDP Eric Hernandez Signature Snare 14x4 - My go-to snare for when you want a sharp backbeat that cuts through the mix.
Gretsch Catalina Club Mahogany 14x5 - This snare is tuned super low for a deep, fat disco tone, a great choice for any style of music.
Ludwig Universal Black Nickel Over Brass 14x5.5 - This drum is tuned for a heavy weighted backbeat that blends with the other elements around it really well. This drum is modelled after Ludwig's iconic Black Beauty snare so if that's the sound youre after, this is the ticket.
