-4 # Black Panther Mapex Customised used by Chris Adler. — Yeshi Nigel Rinzin 2011-07-21 08:17
Alder Heads should B "Remo" instead of "Aquarian". But his Customised "Black Panther" sounds Xcellent N Better than Drum used in "Hourglass" N he is still using Hourglass Drum (Mapex)!!!! He uses a football gloves written "N" AT BACK. But sumtime he uses "Ahead" gloves. NOTE: CHRIS ADLER IS LEFT LEG IS FASTER THAN HIS RIGHT LEG. That's Y there is the different beat in sound also called "Pattern". Check his Hourglass solo with Willie Adler. U'll notice his Left Leg is faster than right Leg!!!!!!!

Batter heads are the heads that you strike with the sticks. Resonant heads are on the bottom of the drum. one drum usually (not always) has two heads on each one. one batter and one resonant. To answer your question, he uses the batter on the top of all of his toms, and uses the resonant on the bottom of all of his toms.
