Mike's kit.

Sooo... whatever MP ends up doing, does he keep his monster kit? I'm guessing he reverts back to something like in LSFNY

I was actually wondering this myself.  Moreover, is the new drummer gonna be required to have a monster kit to pull off MP songs live?

Mike owns all of his drums. The kit he's using with Avenged is his. Isn't it the same paired down kit he uses from time to time?

As for the new drummer? Doubt it. I'm willing to bet his kit is not half as big. Most respective drummers have their own setup to achieve what they need. I assume they'll add whatever may be necessary (say roto toms, as a lot of drummers don't use those) but will likely keep it to a minimum. I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of the stuff Mike used to do, like guest drummers.

True, but didn't mike have a bunch of specialty symbols on his kit that are needed for certain songs? At least to get an almost studio sound.

I think you're talking about the Max Stax, which MP designed; they're available commercialy.  Actually, I think everything MP used on his kit is available commercially.

Drummers always add their own touch to the songs so he might not necessarily add certain things Mike had his own kit such as a Max Stax.

I don't understand how the next DT drummer wouldn't be a bit kit drummer. It's literally impossible to replicate MP's parts without a sufficiently diverse drum and cymbal selection.

Pretty much this. Maybe not three bass drums, but definitely needs a kit at least half to three quarters of the size.

I don't want the new drummer to try and sound identical to MP.  A drummer of the skill that they're most certainly going to dig up will be able to pull it off quite well with a reasonable sized kit.  He's certainly going to need more than a Charlie Watt's special, but I wouldn't expect the guy to demo with the SS. Bozio, either.

He's been using something similar to that kit with the Tama acrylic shells with A7X.
