Eric Althaus uses
and recommends the
following drumming industry manufacturers.
I've been playing and using Yamaha drums and Hardware for nearly twenty years.
I exclusively use Pro-Mark drumsticks, which I've used for over twenty
years.
My current model of choice is Japanese White Oak size 5B with nylon
tips.
I also use various mallets and brushes manufactured by Promark,
and became
recognized as a Pro-Mark Certified Product Specialist.
You
can check out my Pro-Mark profile on
Pro-Mark's website.
I use and recommend DrumLights.

Check out QwikStix! I use their stick and
beverage holders in my live setup. Tell them I sent you!
I use the 9000 series foot pedals, hi hat
stands, and snare stands.
I use the PDP Super Rack System and cymbal
boom arms.
I use various cymbals in all my drum setups.
I tend to pick out cymbals that match not only the music I play, but also my
Yamaha drums. Every cymbal is unique, and as such, I only use the best sounding
ones (to MY ears, anyway ;-). Brand names alone don't do it for cymbals - they
simply HAVE to sing. Mine do!!!
I use Evans G2 heads on my toms and
EQ3's on my kicks. For all my snares, I use Remo Coated Ambassadors for the
batter side, and Hazy Ambassadors for the resonant (snare side).
The Audix D6 kick drum microphone is incredible.
I also use Audix clip-on microphones, which are among the best mini-mic's I've
heard.
Sound
Systems
Makers
of the finest drum and instrument microphones.
Eric Althaus is proud to
have been a K&K Sound Systems endorsed artist.
Unfortunately,
the company has discontinued the models of microphones
that Eric had endorsed
and used on his drums.
"Dieter and the entire K&K family
continue to produce the finest instrument
microphones available. The snare
and tom mics I used for ten years were
the perfect microphones for my large
drum set-ups. I will continue to use
the K&K mics that I still have in my possession,
though they are no longer
available to the public. K&K has decided to focus their
energies in different
directions, and though I'm personally
affected by their decision, I wish them
success and thank them for their
many years of support." - Eric Althaus
Whenever I need to provide my own monitor, it's JBL all the way!
