igor cavalera's snare?

[fred_throne]

anyone know what he uses or has used in the past?

Igor's current touring snare is the
MMX 14x6.5 drum. I've included a
picture of his kit which includes a
14x5.5 snare.

Thanks,

This has got to be one of the most unique setup
I´ve ever seen...

The floor tom on the left is bigger than his kicks, lol. That's one of the strangest configurations I've seen lately.

2 20x16 kicks, 10x10,18x16,16x16 and a 22 gong bass if i remeber right-very odd set-up! its a bit like mike bordin's set-up (faith no more i think, ozzy osbourne) he has his toms vertical too, i cant see how they would do quick fills but they do.

I just love Igor's kit. You can really hear in the sepultura songs wich toms he uses and wich doesnt. You dont hear the middle toms. Verry cool setup.

That setup seems like it would be hard to play, but if you really listen to Sepultura's stuff the drums are based around tom grooves instead of monster fills all the time. I like the sound of it on the recordings. Igor's playing is a definite inspiration.

And what about the snare drum he played in the "Against" recordings? I remember a white snare drum that sounded fantastic (you can see it in the last photo inside the "Against" booklet, where Sepultura is playing with KODO).

I saw last month, very cool.
I'll post pics as soon as I can.

huge kit.

thats what igor brings.

[ROBB283DT]

Accually I thought it was bigger than it accually was. I thought that he kept pretty close to the same setup as his old Yamaha and Mapex.

In case you are still interested (or others that may stumble upon this thread) here is the very Pearl Masters Custom snare Igor used for the Against album and tour.

How did you come across that?

Well thank goodness that after almost 18 years we finally have an answer.
