NATHANIEL DOBAS-LIVE PRODUCTION OF ASSASSINS AT THE FUSE THEATRE IN WEST HAVEN, CONNECTICUT-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14....

Long time supporter, Nathaniel Dobas (Dobas Music Studio) recently appeared in the live production of Assassins at the Fuse Theater in West Haven, Connecticut. He had along one of his long time mains/auxiliary drums...The Beier 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14. 

In this production he selected the drum for his auxiliary, and I have had the honor of him selecting the drum for his main in many productions over the years.

Thank You Nathaniel for everything...It was so great to see this. Continued success.....!

MATTHEW RHYNER LIVE WITH SAMMY LLANAS IN WISCONSIN-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14.....DONE

I recently got to see my pal Matthew Rhyner (Sammy Llanas, Appleton Music Academy, Independent) live with one of favorite artists across any genre...Sammy Llanas, co-founder and formerly of the Bodeans.

Matthew had along his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 which has been one of his mains for years now. He mentioned to me he is using it on almost everything now which was wonderful to hear. Matthew is amazing drummer with this seemingly effortless relaxed style, and he is utterly perfect for this band.

Literally every single time I see them, Sammy and the band are even better than the last time. And they were incredible to begin with. Hands down one of my favorites, and always will be. 

Thank You Again Matthew...This was a lot of fun, and I am so looking forward to posting the live clip of the band. See you soon my friend....

Rock legend, Steven Sweet of Warrant, is back out on the road with the band for their 2024 Let The Good Times Rock Tour. It was a huge and pleasant surprise to see when his kit stored in the region came out, Thanks to Eric Domegall, it had his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 along with it. 

I have known Steven for a lot of years now, and over that time he has incorporated his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 & 1.5 Steel--8 x 15 into his live kit at times, and brought the drums in the studio for their 2017 release: Louder-Harder-Faster. He is an amazing Musician, and person, and I have wonderful memories of this incredible band live and those times. I was introduced to him by another beloved legend throughout this business: Michael Foster of Firehouse. 

Hopefully this Fall I will be seeing Warrant live again in Chicago. Thank You Again Steven and Eric.....!
