    It’s clear! It’s pimp. Look at my candy-purple chrome! Wow Johnny. This was my kit on the Don’t Tread On Me Tour. Lookout!

    This kit is spectacular. Beautiful quilted maple wrapped around the drums and then stained blue. Awesome sizes and floor toms with legs! This kit was used in the “First Straw” video, and for a couple of songs on the ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ album recording. It was also my kit for the Evolver Tour and on the Don’t Tread On Me Tour before getting my new clear drum set.

    ORANGE (2001 – 2003)

    Beautiful laquer kit. Nice tight sizes. These drums sound and look great. The bass drum came in 20”x22” and 22”x22”. This kit was used in the “You Wouldn’t Believe” video and on the Soundsystem and From Chaos tours.
    YELLOW (1997 – 2000)

    This was the mack daddy kit. OCD went all out in building this one. They added gear like Octabons and a 20” concert floor tom! Zildjian kicked down a gong to go with it! This kit was used in the “Beautiful Disaster” and “Come Original” videos and for the Transistor Tour.

    BLACK (1996 – 1997)

    This kit’s custom look is sweet. All black drums and hardware with rhinestones embedded in the cover of the drums, making the effect of looking at a sky full of stars. This kit introduced my new “Energy” badge and was used in the “Flowing”, “Transistor”, “I’ll Be Here Awhile” and “Don’t Tread on Me” videos. The kit was also used on the Temples of Boom Tour and for the ‘Transistor’ album recording. The toms were used some on the ‘Evolver’ album recording and on most of the songs on the ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ album recording.

    GREEN (1995 – 1996)

    My first kit from OCD. This kit made it’s debut in Europe in 1995. I was excited about getting my first custom set! Custom color, custom badges (alien head badge). This kit was used for the “Don’t Stay Home”, “All Mixed Up” and “Down” videos. And used for the Blue album and some Transistor touring.
