Jerod Boyd takes us through his set-up, talks about his favorite sounds and we get some footage from the show!

Here is a transcript of the video:

So we are on the No Guts No Glory Tour right now and so far my set-up cymbal wise right now is 14" K Zildjian Mastersound Hats, as an off hand crash I have a 22" K Dark Ride, right in front of me I have a 12" Oriental China "Trash", as my main crash I a 21" K Crash Ride, as my ride I a 22" K Custom Ride and as a china I a 19" Z3 Ultra Hammered China.

I try to mainly use the K series cymbals. I just think they have a really warm tone but a lot of attack in them. Which I think is really helpful if you are playing Metal things like that. I feel that attack is really necessary but the warm tones are not too bright to where with chunky guitar rifts, lower tunings. It's not sticking out to where the is "psssh" and the guitars are low "chun, chun, chun" . I try to keep cymbals with warm darker tone.

One of my favorite cymbals right now is the Z3 Ultrahammered China. I like it a lot because it doesn't have just all attack it, the sustain of it is so long and is just so in your face. It's like you hit it and it's just like "woah"! I got hit in the face with that. So I am really into that but other than that my favorite series is definitely the K.

The techniques whether it be spinning my sticks or just holding the stick correctly, I'd say back in marching band, I learned to do some stick spins. Other than that I think it's just touring with drummers, learning off other people.

After this Miss May I will be finishing the No Guts No Glory Tour, then after that we will be heading into the studio to record our 3rd album and then after that we will be heading over to Europe to do a tour with Parkway Drive and we have some things still under wraps but we will find out when we get there!
