Rami Stucky

Rami Stucky joined the PF crew as drummer in 2024.  Stucky is from Wichita, and his dynamic sensitivity adds notable finesse to PF's sound by blending traditionally acoustic formalities with a tasteful layer of intensity. Stucky can also be heard on Monitor’s Memorand (2017) and Dave Raskin’s Loose the Shades (2022). Both albums are available wherever you stream music.

Gear Rundown:

"I play a Sonor Force 3007 Jungle Kit (10”/14”/16” kick). It fits in our van (Vanana) quite nicely. Some of the lightweight hardware upgrades from Independent Drum Lab make load-in and load-out easy as well. I primarily use a 19” Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark Ride Cymbal, some 14” Zildjian New Beats, and a 20” Zildjian Crash of Doom.

I saw that Questlove used the Crash of Doom in a 2005 Modern Drummer feature so I went to Midwest Drum and Percussion in Wichita, KS to purchase one as soon as I could.

I like Aquarian’s Deep Vintage heads because they provide a retro look and feel that are great for brushes but sound nice tuned low for our harder-sounding music. Particularly because I play brushes so often, I use a Kentville drumhead on my Ludwig Acrolite snare drum that my friend Dio Jean-Baptiste gifted me when I lived in Seattle. The Kentville’s like the calfskin heads of old and sounds nice and warm. I like RegalTip’s aluminum retractable brushes."
