Later in 1994, Pat picked up a green brushed aluminum Trick brand 14" snare drum. We were under the impression that Trick had since gone out of business, but apparently they still are going. Anyway, the snare sounded awesome. Pat sold it (on ebay no less!) in mid 1999. | Later in 1994, Pat picked up a green brushed aluminum Trick brand 14" snare drum.

===1995 - Spring/Summer Touring=== | |||
In the spring of 1995 Pat bought a vintage blue Ludwig Vistalite kit that dated from the mid '70s. The kit consisted of a 22" bass drum, a 16" floor tom, and 2 rack toms, of which Pat usually only used one. By this point his cymbals were as follows: Zildjian 14" "K" hi-hats, a 22" dark "K" ride, and 16" and 18" custom "A" crashes. This kit did extensive touring in 1995 and 1996, then came back out for the Outloud tour in March and for the Hooptie and Europe tours in 2001, and currently is kept at Pat's home studio. | |||
===1995-1996 Pinkerton=== | |||
In 1996 Pat got a new Ludwig kit directly from Ludwig. This was a full double bass drum set, a Super Classic in Champaigne Sparkle finish, that he broke into a "big" and a "small" kit. The small kit stayed at home, and is heard on the first Special Goodness "bunny cover" album, and later went away somewhere. The big kit was used on "Pinkerton" and was used for all the touring in '96-'97. This kit went away as well. | |||
===2000 - USA/JAPAN=== | |||

No Change. | |||
===2001 - Hooptie Tour=== | |||
Blue 70's Vistalite drums. [This would be their last tour]. At this point, Everyone switched over to an in-ear monitor system, where tiny wireless headphones are worn by each band member, through which a custom mix is pumped, depending on what the band member requires. This eliminated the need for monitor wedges all over the stage, which made things a lot easier during the Hooptie Tour with its tiny stages. The band has fallen in love with the system (also after major uncertainty and doubts), as they get a much more consistent sound night after night. Monitor wedges can sound very different night to night depending on the stage and electronics in use, and can "feed back" at inopportune times. | |||
===2001 - Midget and Ex-M Tours=== | |||
Pat got a new Ludwig kit in "Psychedelic Red". This kit has a very similar look to his original Black ludwig kit from '91-'93. The Ex-M tour was overall the same. | |||
