## What It Does

MetalForge Gear Search lets you search across 60+ professional metal drummers' gear setups by brand (Pearl, Tama, Zildjian, Meinl, Sabian, Paiste, DW…), cymbal model, or drum kit name. Every search returns the full list of roster drummers who endorse or actively use that product, with links to their complete gear profiles.

The database covers drums, snares, cymbals, double-bass pedals, hardware, and drumsticks for each drummer — so a single search surfaces the complete picture of who plays what.

## Example Queries

- Search **"Pearl"** → all metal drummers using Pearl drums (Joey Jordison, Gene Hoglan, George Kollias, Ray Luzier, and 14 more)
- Search **"Zildjian A Custom"** → finds every drummer who plays that specific cymbal line
- Search **"Mapex"** → returns Chris Adler, Arin Ilejay, Jason Bittner
- Search **"Tama Iron Cobra"** → double-bass pedal users across the roster
- Search **"Meinl Byzance"** → Brann Dailor, Chris Adler, Matt Halpern, and others

## Who It's For

- Drummers researching gear before buying, wanting to know what pros use
- Gear enthusiasts identifying the exact kit a drummer plays
- Fans curious whether their favorite drummer endorses a brand
