Hi, I came across an article( assumingly from 75) wich is in a bad condition..
His Equipment is listed, but there are some gaps I have to say.
I`ve marked the gaps with ??? in = ( inch)
Thanks :)

Taylor uses a Ludwig kit..

26 in by 17 in bass drum
four toms 13 in by 9 in standard
a ???azzi Hollywood 14 in by ??? ( originally a floor Tom-xxx but floated )
a 16 in by ???and 20 in by 18 in, plus 14 in by 7,5 in maple snare

He also uses a wide range of ???edis Zildijian cymbals, eight ??? all with two hi-hats.
A variety of stands are used ??? he finds that Shaftesbury ??? are strongest.
He has two Ludwig Speeding ??g pedals and one Asba Pedal.
He used to drum with Ginger Baker sticks untill he find them impossible to buy in America and
now plays whatever suits, usually Premier Cs. A 3 ft 6 in podium is used on stage.
