Tristan only uses the industries best equipment manufacturers to supply his shows. The persuit of quality can only be established through the use of quality components and equipment. By using industry leaders to supply the various parts of his show, Tristan can ensure his exacting standards are met and great time and research is taken to ensure all equipment used on the road is suitable for purpose, strong, reliable and of good quality.

Tristan Drew uses one of Dynacord's exceptional industry leading mixer amps as the basis for his sound creation. Tristan has been using Dynacord for over 11 years and swear by its quality and reliability. Studiomaster provide additional power amps to create the full amplified system in use.

Sennheiser provide Tristan's main radio microphone systems and Tristan currently uses their EW165 G3 series system. Radio mics are personal to each individual vocalist and different brands and models suit different types of vocals.

Shure provide the personal monitoring system that ensure Tristan can hear music and vocals whilst on stage. Tristan uses in ear monitoring as opposed to speaker monitoring as due to his energetic performance the in ear system proves a more versatile system.

Tristan uses a mix of Peavey speakers and Wharfdale base bin speakers. The 6 speaker system is scaleable to ensure the accomodation of any venue and when in full swing is a 5000 kw sound system. Great time and care was taken in the selection of the speakers used, to ensure they provided the optimum sound quality Tristan requires as well as the exacting application to compliment the amps of choice. One thing Tristan is regularly complimented on is the clarity and quality of his PA sound output and no expense is spared to ensure that this remains unchanged.

Tristan also carries an extensive lighting and effects show which uses effects from various manufacturers with lighting units chosen for their ability and quality. Such an extensive effect show requires a powerful software to run it and the show is fully computerised. Tristans lighting and sound is therefore powered by Showmagic software via computer to ensure everything works when it needs to on a timed basis. Pyrotechnic effects and supplied by Sky High Stage FX and Tristan and his staff have been on safety courses to ensure the safe and correct handling and firing methods are maintained with public safety of paramount importance.

Of course all of this equipment requires suppliers. Suppliers have to be reliable and trust worthy and able to obtain and supply you with what is required when its required which is why Tristan only uses 2 suppliers to provide all of his equipment needs and requirements from sale to servicing and maintenance. These suppliers are highly recommended.
