About the Artist

Zach started playing drums at a very young age. He got a baby drum kit for his first birthday and started playing right away. Around the age of 13 he started getting into bands such as Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, The Smashing Pumpkins, and many others. With headphones on and a pair of sticks, he began to learn every beat and rhythm that he could from those drummers. After a short amount of time, he realized that these drummers all had something very unique about themselves, and wanted the same. After that Zach decided to play every show that he could with all of his heart, energy, and emotions. Zach today plays with Day of Fire and still plays every show like it’s his last. Zach likes to use big drums and play hard, so come to a show and see for yourself ...



Influences

Silver chair, Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Led Zeppelin.

Advice

"Follow the dream that is in your heart and play like it is your last show every time."

Catalina Maple

Carefully developed to produce tones that explode a balanced amount of warm low end frequencies

The Catalina Maple series starts with the Gretsch maple formula shell. We carefully developed the maple shell specification to produce tones that explode with attack and volume and project a balanced amount of warm, low-end frequencies. All Catalina Maple shells are 7-ply, 7.2mm.

The Catalina Maples are available in two configurations - a 6-piece shell pack set and a 5-piece shell pack set. Add-on drums are also available to allow for further drum set expansion.
