Coupled with my IEMs it adds so much more de-tail in the low end which is a dream for every drummer!’

Talking about his new kit, Barnes said: ‘The Porter & Davies BC2 is an absolute game changer. Hearing and feeling the bass drum is absolutely the most important thing in my mix, now I don’t need to worry anymore. The biggest compliment I have for the BC2 is how much I miss it when I play shows without one! I’m hon-oured to be a Porter & Davies Artist.’
