Don Henley

Like many people, I absolutely love Don Henley's drumming and the sound of his kit. Does anyone have a complete or partial list of what he used back in the seventies?

Also, I realize many of you hate this type of drum sound. If you fall into that category, no need to reply to this post! Henley lovers only! Wink

I don't hate his sound; in fact, it does really serve the overall sonic picture of the songs. Would I personally gravitate toward his sound? Probably not. LOVE his drumming.

I believe he is/was 100% Paiste. Always saw him with Ludwig in the 70's, and a set of Tama Superstars for The Long Run. In '94 he played DW on tour with a Ludwig 402 snare, at least when I saw him. I think he would sound like himself on Kenny Aronoff's kit!
