Jared's Drum Kit

**'Jared's Drum Kit'** is the name of a Drum Kit made by Truth Custom Drums and owned by Jared Dines. The Kit is mostly used for Jared's YouTube videos and was temporarily used by Christopher Ghazel during his time in Rest, Repose.

## History

Jared started out playing Drums for his band Rest, Repose and started using small Kits such as Mapex and studio Kits with a Custom Snare from Hill Country Percussion.

He was later given a Truth Custom Drum Kit, but that one was just a loner Kit, he returned it when he was given his official kit.

He later got in contact with Truth Custom Drums and was given his own Drum Kit, he began using this Kit for future Rest, Repose recordings and concerts.

The Kit used to be kept in a storage space where Jared and the rest of Rest, Repose used to practice, but after Jared moved to a bigger house, the Drum Kit, along with practices was moved there.

Ever since Jared moved to Rhythm Guitar, the Kit is now used for Drumming videos on Jared's YouTube channel and by his replacement Christopher Ghazel, although Christopher brings his own Snare and Cymbals.

On the 27th of February 2019 it was announced that Jared and Christopher had left the band meaning the kit will no longer be used for Rest, Repose but will continue to be used in Jared's videos.

For Jared's recent videos he has removed the Snare that came with the kit and replaced it with his Hill Country Percussion Snare and the Snare that came with the kit was being kept in storage.

Apart from the Truth Drum Kit, Jared also has an Alesis Electronic Drum Kit which he mostly uses for recording for his band 'Daddy Rock'.
