A look into Dave Grohl's iconic set ups from the 90s when he played for Nirvana. The Tama kits he played defined the bands sound and, combined with his playing, became a hallmark of their sound. Between the Granstar, Granstar II and Artstar II, Tama managed to provide the perfect sound for Nirvana's beats, as well as being strong enough to endure the abuse Dave put them through.
A lot of credit goes to livenirvana.com/equipment/dav... for the information featured, the rest was gathered from forum discussions, my own observations from photos, and interviews with Dave himself. Despite claiming to not care about the drums he hit, he really did seem to have a unique and specific sound created with the drums he played, but the man manages to sound great on anything, theres even a video of him playing on a kids set on RU-vid ;)
