Here at Reverb, we've worked quite a bit with renowned drummer and multi-instrumentalist Ilan Rubin. He's given us lessons on his favorite Bonham beat and Stewart Copeland cymbal techniques, and back in 2017 he let us know about the hybrid electronic/acoustic kit he played with Nine Inch Nails.
As the drummer for NIN, Angels and Airwaves, Paramore, Beck, and other acts—and the leader of his solo project The New Regime—he's picked up quite a bit of gear. Today, we're excited to announce that he'll be launching The Official Ilan Rubin Reverb Shop on Thursday, January 17, in order to sell some of his collection.
"Over the years, I've acquired so much gear and lately, I've found that I'm just not using everything," he told us in the video above. "This equipment has been used on tour with Nine Inch Nails and Angels and Airwaves and in the studio for The New Regime. I'm parting with a lot of really good stuff. My loss is your gain!"
Among the items that will be for sale on January 17 is a Q Drum Co. Cold Rolled Steel Drum Kit with A New Gentleman's Series Snare used on the Nine Inch Nails "Tension" tour in 2013. The drum kit can also be seen on "VEVO Presents: Nine Inch Nails Tension 2013" as well as the band's Austin City Limits performance. According to Rubin, it's the only drum kit made by Q Drum Co in the "Cold Rolled Steel" material.

A custom 2007 OCDP Pink Champagne Sparkle Drum Kit used in the studio to record The New Regime's 2011 album Speak Through the White Noise and Angels and Airwaves' 2014 album The Dream Walker. The kit was also used live on stage with Angels and Airwaves.
A custom 2006 OCDP Black and Silver Sparkle Drum Kit used in the studio to record Angels and Airwaves' The Dream Walker as well as The New Regime EPs Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
