In amongst his drums and cymbals, Dom also uses an 11″ RhythmTech Ribbon Crasher and a tambourine mounted underneath it.

The ribbon crasher creates a trashy sound similar to the ’slosh’ of an open hi-hat and is used in Time Is Running Out, Hysteria, Apocalypse Please, Eternally Missed and Megalomania.

The tambourine is not a new addition to his percussion, more “relocated”. As in the early days, Dom would rest a tambourine on top of his hi-hat cymbals during live versions of Megalomania.

In the introduction of Falling Away With You, you can hear a ‘hang’ being played. This is what creates the warm ‘ding’ sounds throughought the song.

Dom describes this instrument as:

“A thing that looks like a cross between a barbeque and a flying saucer. It’s like an inverted metal drum with a pentatonic C scale on the top that you tap with your hands. It’s made by this company called PANArt. It’s a really cool sounding instrument that’s pleasurable to play and so relaxing as well.”

During the Origin of Symmetry tour, Dom had a Balafon as part of his kit. This big wooden patterned xylophone is only used in Screenager.

During City Of Delusion and Screenager, Dom uses a hand held shaker.
