Darby Todd's Drum Rig Rundown for the Devin Townsend USA Lightwork tour. 

I appreciate when a great drummer is a gear head too and can explain in detail like this what he's using and why. Thank you. And well done!

I’ve watched a lot of rig rundowns and this was one of the best. Fantastic level of detail but he goes quick. He’s a drummer and you can feel his enthusiasm!

This guy is a brilliant drummer. He knows his kits in and out. Saw him in Tucson with Martin Barre. Amazing!!!

That orange is nice. You can tell Darby feels the music. He's a perfect fit for Devin s style!!

Love the simplicity. Drums Look amazing!

Darby is one of the modern greats. Superb player.

British Drum Company! Same as Ian Mosley of Marillion. Sounds like they are on to something! Thanks for the great tour Darby!

Thank you for sharing kits looks amazing. Love the cympad felts for the cymbals

Gorgeous kit and a fantastic drummer.

I'm not even a drummer, but I find this video interesting and entertaining to watch. Always glad to see a professional musician who also can articulate the details of his instrument and work in such a pleasant manner :) Keep up the good work with the channel!

Hell yes brother! Hope all is well and can't wait to see you live again!

Your new to me, I really appreciate taking the time to show and tell your kit 🤘

What an amazing kit and drummer of course. Thanks for sharing some tricks of the trade :)

Gear heads unite! Love the rundown Darby

so slick with the floor tom legs in the cowbell holder

Great walk through! That’s a bad ass set up!!

Love seeing the crocheted octopus! It was great seeing it at all the shows following Cleveland 🖤

Love honest no nonsense description.

Such a killer drum set! I love that floor tom leg trick

Awesome !!!

love it!!!!!!!!

Hey Darby I love it that you use old gear: your cowbell, couple of cymbals, analogue mixer..cheers my man❤

Fun video!

Genius idea with the Cowbell clamps. I've been looking to turn a square power tom into a Hi hat side floor without drilling it. Game changer. Top tip. I'm off to Amazon now. Cheers.

Very interesting, thank you deadhead is probably one of my favourites live, And problems ? During a Devin set!!!!! They’re the best part watching Dev run around skitting….. I’m afraid to say it but….. I’m gonna need more cowbell

Darby you're one of my favorite drummers! I love your kit and your style. technique and your awesome attitude! I would love to hear what Remo Pinstripes would sound like on your drums! They made my drums sound so good!

Is this drum for show? Yes it is 🤣 No nonsense, absolutely brilliant 👍

Nice set.

Those protection racket AAA cases are the real deal. I have one for my snare and it’s amazing. All the strength of a hard case but the weight of a soft case.

magnifico.💥💥💥💥💥💥

This man matching his Casio F91W to his drum kit. Legend mate! Best watch ever. Also love the disclaimer about using x2 bass drums. LOL I too prefer x2 pedal feel. Great video and fantastic Casio bud.

How much of a freaking rock star you were live was my biggest takeaway from the show in Hebron, KY. It was my much anticipated first time seeing Devin after watching many many live concerts on RU-vid so no surprises there, but man you killed it! Add to the fact that you laid down the drums on my top two albums of 2022, Tiktaalika and Lightwork and is Darby Todd my favorite drummer at the moment?

Magnifico.💰💰💰💰💰💰

Sick

The orange Casio G-Shock is really the cherry on top

Thanks for doing the video. Like alot of your choices. I'm hearing nothing but good stuff from British Drum Company regarding their drums. And currently. Birch drums and Zildjian A cymbals work well for metal. So good choices from my end. Only thing missing, and most drummers do it, they don't talk about their hardware and rack system, cymbal arms/stands etc. Nice kit their Mr. Octopuss :)

Play it man!

I saw you guys on this tour and it was incredible! I hope you come back around, and hopefully headline! What an amazing setup. The British drums are beautiful! I love Audix mics for drums as well, and the system that vibrates the throne, what a great idea. Question: when you said, "I couldn't play some of these songs without this in my arsenal", were you being cheeky?😂😂 Great video, thanks for showing this gorgeous kit!

Definitely well descriptive...and he mentioned the*Amazing* 19 times.. I had to rewatch it.😊

Darn, you were just in Cincinnati. I would have definitely come had I known you were playing. I gave you a ride home from the Baked Potato circa 2003. Nice to see ya!

The UK has really stepped up to the plate in the world of producing drums and drum products, recently. Code drumheads and British Drum Co. are amazing quality brands and I believe stand up to any American, Japanese, or German drum companies. Those two brands are absolutely top notch.

Cool.

Seen a lot of drummers using double bass pedal while bringing a second kick for show. Would have been curious how the set sounds dry without mikes. Looks great.

Love BDC,what a smoking kit,love the orange finish.Tjese cats build only the best.!!!!

3:25 "without this in my arse-nal." No pun intended? Looks like a fun kit.

The i5 on top snare and D2 on bottom snare is so good. Totally blow 57's out of the water IMO. Awesome video

Hi! Really cool setup and hacks. Thanks for sharing! I am hobby metal drummer and - oh dear, when I bought the Toontrack EZX I honestly did not know, that you were performing with Devin. The Toontrack guys put your interview at the very bottom of the product page. Awwww, I love these EZX and SDX! I used them for VST drumming, with rather cheap pads but ... this sounds so good. I mean, you made it. You have a perfect mix of your nice drums, with good mics. Me, I spent a lot of time in dark basements with huge spiders and humidity and strange smells and bunch of crazy guys to make some zombie metal AND I never got the sound of perfectly mixed drums. Ha! Then my wife came up with the idea, to buy an ekit for the kids. And as a metal drummer, you know, know way, I said. But you know: Happy wife - happy life! And I grabbed a cheap Millenium MPS-850 AND EZDrummer2 and ... that was is - with: "For the kids!" Amazing, these sample libraries! And I also got the cheap version of your stool. I just got an tactile transducer or ass shaker, butt kicker - you know - an old subwoofer amp and baaam! Together with your samples, the IEMs and the butt kicker ... Amazing experience. AND I switch between DeathMetal and UKPop, Jazz kits with 2 clicks. :-)

I might steal your three front bar rack idea.

You could make use of the other 22-16 bass drum and use it as another gong drum. Just a suggestion.

I'm a hard-core Sonor guy, but I've been nothing less than impressed by everything thing I've heard from BDC.

Awesome video dude. Intrigued to know on the mix level ratio you use between the trigger and natural snare?

Matts kit in the background I think ❤

I looked into getting the Porter & Davies since I moved to in-ears. Playing bigger stages, ie Hellfest, Brutal Assault and others I noticed a lack of kick, which really is annoying. THEN, I saw the price and went into ontological shock.😮

He forgot to say that he uses Pearl rack system and hardware. But we did notice it in the video.

7:40 - @Darby Todd - What kind of mixer is that?

Hi Darby, what kind of sticks you are using??

Ah Darby, I think that you may have skipped over an important aspect of your rig. The cymbal that you cracked and, was driiled out by you tech. do you prefer the sound before, or after?

I want that vibrating stool!

Glad to help get your hours up! I'll make sure to bring extra cigarettes next time you play in Norwich x

Hey Darby I have a question. If you only use one bass drum why not just have one if your using a double pedal? Is it a looks thing? I prefer a double bass kit to a single bass kit I don’t like the way the slave pedal feels.

What sticks are you using?

What mic claws are you using???

Darby must be a giant; his kit looks like a toy

\m/

Why would you want the stool to vibrate?

Least he's honest about the extra kick

Sticks?

Has two bass drums and uses a double pedal? Pretty dumb. Does Devon use a bunch of unloaded Marshall cabs as well?

KellyShU brother and KickPort would make a difference…

bizarre use a double pedal, with 2 bass drums

'promo sm' 😻

I like the drums and all the extra gear to go with it. But you lost me when you started talking about backing tracks. I feel a band should play everything live, that's why it's called live music.

tiene un doble bombo pero usa doble pedal, que incoherente
