Well... the kit he's using in the Stryper video for "Calling On You" is a Sonor kit! Whether or not he's ever endorsed Sonor Drums, I have no idea!

For a time in the early 1970s, Pearl was distributed in the U.S. by Norlin, the parent company of Gibson guitars at the time. but now a days a good set of skins and a decent drum set your all set.
In 77 - 82 He played Sonor Rosewood..... and than Yamaha in the 90's and now DW in 2012
