00:00For the snare, I actually cranked the crap out of it.

00:02There's not much of a kick, jump, and fear factory

00:04because we just stuff them and use the trigger.

00:07My jump tech's name is Rocky, and we have the Rocky J Squirrel.

00:30Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

00:37I am Pete Weber, drummer for Fear Factory, and here we'll do a gear rundown for you.

00:43So I'm sponsored by Pearl Jums.

00:46This is a pretty much brand new Pearl Masters Maple Pure in putty gray finish.

00:52Sounds great.

00:53It almost sounds just as good as my custom reference kit I have at home.

00:56We've got a 10, a 12-inch, a 14-inch, and 16-inch.

01:02We have a limited edition Pearl 13x7 power piccolo snare drum.

01:08And then the kick drums are a little smaller.

01:10They're 20x16.

01:12I like the smaller kick drums.

01:14They're a little more good rebound for the fast double bass stuff.

01:17So I'm sponsored by Aquarium Drumheads.

01:19For the top snare, we use a triple threat.

01:22I also kind of dabble with the higher energy.

01:24It has a Kevlar dot in the middle.

01:26The bottom is just a classic clear, as well as all the toms, except we put the black heads

01:31on the bottom just to kind of make it look cool for the audience.

01:35So for the batter heads, we use Force 10.

01:39They're great for heavy metal drummers, for real hard hitters.

01:42Gives a nice punchy attack.

01:44For the kick drums, we use the Super Kick 10.

01:48There's not much of a kick drum in Fear Factory because we just stuff them and use the trigger.

01:52But they're a great sounding kick drum if you're going to use them acoustically as well.

01:56I'm also sponsored by Sabian Cymbals.

01:58I've been with them for about 10 years.

02:00Awesome guys.

02:01Chris, thank you so much.

02:02So for Chinas, we have the Neil Peart from Rush Signature Paragon.

02:06This is a 19 inch.

02:09For high hats, we also have the Neil Peart Signature Paragon 13 inch high hats.

02:13I have two of those, one here and over on the right as well.

02:17For crashes, we're using the HHX Explosions.

02:19I have two 18 inch, one here and one here.

02:24These two are kind of new for me.

02:26This is a 10 inch Sabian Sick Hats.

02:29They just came out last year.

02:30With Fear Factory, I need to have a closed high hat permanently.

02:34So this works great for that.

02:35And I also use it as a stack.

02:36Along with this stack here, we were using just the Splash.

02:40It's an Ozone 10 inch.

02:42But I added the small Holy China, the Red Hot Chili Peppers Jummers Signature one.

02:47And I stacked them together so they gave a nice little chuck there.

02:51So for the ride cymbal, I'm just using this one for now.

02:54I'm actually getting a custom one in soon.

02:56But this is the 21 inch raw bell dry ride.

02:59It's good.

03:00It's just a little washy for me.

03:01So we're getting a leopard ride that has a big power bell on it coming soon.

03:05And then last but not least is the Ozone 18 inch crash.

03:09It kind of has a China crash sound.

03:12So it's kind of cool effect symbol for the kit.

03:15So for the hardware, I have a Gibraltar low profile rack.

03:19I really like the design of this because you can keep everything low and keep the, there's

03:23no cymbal stand.

03:24So on a small riser, you can get a big kit into a smaller area.

03:29And then for pedals, I have Axis A long boards.

03:34They're great for speed.

03:35So for the springs on these, we have the heavier duty spring.

03:39And I have that cranked really tight.

03:41So for the fast double base stuff, it makes your life a little easier.

03:44So I got with Vader drumsticks last year.

03:48And I'm using their 2B model.

03:49This is my Fear Factory signature ones here.

03:52And I use a grip tape on top of that.

03:54Just helps me hold on the stick when I get sweaty during the show.

03:57So for a throne, I use this rock and stock throne.

03:59It's really cool because it's hydraulic.

04:01So you can just adjust it really quick on the fly instead of, you know, the old ones,

04:05you kind of have to twist them like that.

04:07And it's just kind of annoying.

04:08This one, you can just sit in there.

04:11You know, if you're playing, even you can just pop up and down.

04:13So it's really, really cool design.

04:15So with Fear Factory, all our tracks are done on this computer here.

04:18We use Logic Pro.

04:20It's all connected with my triggers and this Apogee Duet as well.

04:25So for the trigger module, we're using a Roland TM6.

04:28We're only using three of the channels right now, so this is Kick 1, Kick 2.

04:32And we actually trigger the snare as well just to give some extra attack.

04:37So we have extra channels in case we want to do, you know, the toms later or something

04:41like that.

04:42So I'm with 6.4 audio in-ears.

04:44These are my custom drivers.

04:46They're 12 drivers.

04:47So there's a lot of low-end, a lot of high-end, a lot of mid-range.

04:51It's a really clear sound.

04:52It almost sounds like you're listening to like a record, which is really awesome for live

04:56shows.

04:57For tuning on the drums, for the snare, I actually crank the crap out of it.

05:00I like a really nice attack.

05:03Make sure it clears everything else in the mix.

05:07For the toms, I kind of keep them...

05:09These ones I keep a little tighter.

05:11I would say, you know, more in the middle.

05:13For the floor toms, we kind of keep them more loose to create that nice low-end that you

05:18want to hear out front in the PA.

05:21And we actually keep little dots on here just to bring the reverberance down on the drums.

05:27It kind of just, like I said, more of attack.

05:29You don't need like the whole boom sound of the toms, just a real nice clear attack sound.

05:35So for the trigger units, we're using the Roland.

05:37This is the RT-30.

05:40For the kicks, it's the RT-30K.

05:44And we're using fat cables to go to the Roland module.

05:48They're a company out of Europe.

05:49They give us all the cables that we have on stage, too.

05:52They're really cool dudes.

05:53So for the tom mics, a lot of the tom mics, they're kind of like the snare.

05:56They're really big and kind of in the way.

05:58A lot of drummers end up hitting them.

05:59So we got these really nice small sure ones and just has a small bendable arm.

06:04They're completely out of the way.

06:05I never have to worry about hitting them.

06:07And they sound really awesome.

06:09So on the drum rack, my drum tech Rocky over here loves his bicycles.

06:14So he brought these custom cup holders for the other guys on stage as well.

06:19I have my Gatorade one here, water there, Milo's Gatorade over here, and Ricky's Gatorade over there.

06:26So it's nice that they can have somewhere to put it.

06:29They don't have to put it on the stage and accidentally knock it off or splash something

06:33on some electronics or whatever.

06:34So we also have some gadgets on here like the Millennium Falcon.

06:37It's got the same color as the drum kit.

06:39We got a little Krusty the Clown here from Simpsons.

06:42You know, probably no one ever sees these kind of things, but he always puts them in

06:46different spots every day.

06:47So I'll just be drumming and I'll just randomly see a Krusty the Clown on the drum kit.

06:54So my drum tech's name is Rocky and we have the Rocky J Squirrel there as well.

06:59Thank you guys for tuning in.

07:01Catch us on tour with Cavalera Conspiracy or on the future.

07:04You can check out fearfactory.com for future tour dates and we have a new album coming out

07:08in 2026.

07:09So keep an eye out for that and thanks for tuning in.

07:11Cheers!
