Back in September 2023, Modern Drummer caught up with Brooks Wackerman while on the Avenged Sevenfold Life is But a Dream Tour. Brooks took us through his DW acrylic drums and gave us some insight into his practice and performance routines.

The Wackerman family are all monsters on drums. They're all great drummers. Plus, that album of The National is one of the best album of 2023.

Yes, the Wackerman is a family of great drummers. Brooks is the brother of John and Chad who are two great drummers and their father Chuck is also a drummer. A family of great drummers. 😊

I believe that those are smaller hats that were custom made for him for the song. They look smaller than the ones in the other videos. At the very end you can see his drum tech coming to switch hats at the end of the song. I love that sound and I wanna know what it is

Brooks' use of the hi-hats to keep pulse during fills or riding on other cymbals really elevates the groove. He has a magical way of playing really unusual fills incorporating voices all around the kit that are always tasteful and musical. And what a great kit!

I knew he was the drummer for A7X but I had no idea he was endorsed by Innovative Percussion. I’ve always taken them as more of a drum corps and marching band stick company but that’s amazing he is. Strongly considering switching back to innovative now!

So glad they got brooks. His capabilities are what a7x needs and is what makes a7x the band that they are. I didnt think that aaron kid fit in from the first time i herd him play the revs songs.. but i figured he might grow on me. But he never did. Then they released hail to the king and tho the album is full of good songs it dosnt hit a7x standards as far as i (a fan since 2005) was concerned. Was releived when they put out the stage. Brooks is the man

As cool as it is to have brooks in the band. It would have been awesome to see how far the rev would have gotten with his talent. And it would have been great to see a kit rundown of the rev’s last signature drum kit with the 3 kick drums. I remember seeing that kit the first time I saw them which was jimmy’s last time in my town almost a year before he passed. It ws insanely huge looking even from where i was

@joeburrows215 3 ай бұрын

They probably don't have much of a singing voice. Rather it be while playing drums or not playing drums. The rev was a different animal. He didn't have to rely only on his drumming skills. Hell he had a backup plan in case a7x didn't work out . He had pinkly smooth. And he didn't have anything to do with the drums in that band. Vocals and keyboards

No way that's a 10 inch splash on that mini stack above his rack toms. There's a 10inch tom right next to it and the upside down splash is way bigger than that 10" tom. Thats probably a 12inch splash upside down ontop of a 14inch mini china stack.
