    The one thing that sticks out to me is his snare sound. All tone. Love it!

    sorry to post so much in the Alex thread but he was my main influence growing up. Just a side note he didn't use the supra snare on FW. It was a wood Tama

    It looks like the kit from the "Monsters of Rock" tour, their first with Sammy Hagar. Metallica, Dokken, Scorpions and Van Halen. I saw it at Rich Stadium in Buffalo.

    Yes. Kingdom Come. German or Nordic guys that sounded like Zep. Dokken ruined their career on that tour. They followed Metallica and just looked and sounded stupid by comparison. Don Dokken in his wig, the whole band wearing shiny neon spandex and hairspray singing "We're the Dream Warriors". Hilarity! Sammy Hagar was pretty drunk climbing around the catwalk, and Alex Van Halen played a single stroke roll on a floor tom that was so fast it sounded like a hum! One long sub frequency synth note instead of individual notes. Totally badass!
