Tommy Taylor is presently endorsing products by these fine manufacturers:

Tommy purchased his first new Ludwig 400 Snare drum in 1969 and his first new full set of Ludwig Drums in 1970.  In 1990 as Ah Via Musicom was gathering momentum in the Billboard Rock chart, he toured extensively with Eric Johnson.  As fate would have it Tommy had 2 drumsets out on those tours, one of which was a vintage Ludwig.  When the group arrived to play in Ontario, California, Tommy was approached by Todd Trent of Ludwig about endorsing their product.  Todd was both surprised and pleased to see that he was already using Ludwig! He took a new Black Beauty with him that day.  Shortly after that meeting, Tommy took delivery of a brand new Ludwig Super Classic drumset.  After countless tours and recording sessions he is still using that kit today!

 

 

A user of Sabian cymbals since the company's beginning, Tommy became a Sabian endorser in 1987.  He primarily uses the AA style cymbals with the occasional  HH.  Tour sizes are: 24 inch Medium Heavy Ride AA, 14 inch AA Rock Hats or AA Regular Hats, 17" Small Cup AA Medium Thin Crash, 20" AA Medium Crash Ride, 20 inch AA China, 18" AA Medium Crash with rivets, 13 AA Sound Control Crash. 

Since the early 90's Tommy has played drumsticks by Rimshot of Ontario, Canada.  After playing many different sizes and varieties he mainly uses a stick called the 5A Piranha.  It is his opinion that these are the finest drumsticks made.  These are very long sticks. They have incredible balance, control and power, though they are very lightweight.  Rimshot Drumsticks are distributed through their parent company, Rapco International.
