going with the Hammer of the Gods kit.

A John Bonham-replica kit that was used in Portnoy's Led Zeppelin tribute band. Custom-made acrylic shells were used (transparent amber), and the kit is always played while wearing the obligatory bowler hat.

safe to say that this poll winner would also win the "funniest name for a Dream Theater album" poll

Although Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence might make that vote a close one, too!

I suppose the Transatlantic kit is simply the one he uses when he plays with Transatlantic. Transatlantic are a more traditional symphonic rock band and I would guess even the drum kit may differ slightly from a drum kit used in the prog metal style he usually does with Dream Theater.

I find the titles of all of Dream Theater's stuff hilarious. Sometimes it's just gibberish and sometimes it reminds me of what happens when a non-English speaking band tries to title all their songs in English.
