Anthony Ghazel - Daughtry - Tour Kit Rundown

Hosted by David Frangioni, this exclusive tour kit rundown goes deep into the powerful live setup of Anthony Ghazel of Daughtry. Anthony breaks down his road-tested Pearl Masters kit, massive brass snare, Zildjian cymbal selection, and the unique gong drum setup that creates huge “808-style” low end completely acoustically — with no sampled drum sounds. Anthony also shares the philosophy behind his tuning approach, why he keeps his drums wide open for maximum rock tone, and how his live rig is built to survive a 70-minute high-energy rock show night after night. Along the way, he dives into his favorite Remo heads, Pearl hardware, Vic Firth sticks, and backup snares including the legendary Vinnie Paul snakeskin signature snare. The conversation also explores Anthony’s innovative Rock Locks drum tension locking system, designed to keep drums in tune under extreme playing conditions. Rock Locks were previously reviewed in Modern Drummer Magazine by Jason Mehler, and Anthony explains how the product evolved from real-world touring demands into a solution now trusted by major touring acts around the world.
