The drummer is Michael Mangini. He uses Pearl Drums which are designed using the golden ratio. "Pearl Drums positions the air vents on its Masters Premium models based on the golden ratio. The company claims that this arrangement improves bass response and has applied for a patent on this innovation." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_cut#Music "Designed by Mike Mangini, the Berklee professor and international clinician, the 6.2" x 10" Golden Ratio size of this birch snare is based on the Golden Ratio, an ancient architectural phenomenon." http://www.music123.com/Pearl-Mike-Mangini-Signature-Snare-Drum-491260-i1397073.Music123 "Mangini is notorious for slaughtering three out of four World's Fastest Drummers. These include the Fastest Matched grip at 1,247 strokes in 60 seconds, Fastest Hands, which he earned by executing 1,203 single-stroke notes in 60 seconds without drumsticks mallets etc., Fastest Traditional Grip which he earned by executing 1,126 strokes in 60 seconds, and Fastest Single Stroke Foot record playing 13,222 hits in 15 minutes and 5,222 hits in five minutes.
