CANADIAN LEGEND CHAD MELCHERT-LIVE WITH ASHLEY BORODY-ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TO ADELE-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14......

One of Canada's all-time greatest players, and greatest guy's....Chad Melchert (Abbigail Road Drum Studio) is always in a whirlwind of recording and live shows. One of his recent many shows was with Ashley Borody, and he had along one of his mains for many years now: 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14. 

To go into detail of how great Chad Melchert has been to me over the years would go on for countless pages. Hundreds of live shows with various Artists, dozens of records, clinics...Literally endless. He has used his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14, 4 x 15, 7.5 x 15 in all Musical situations. Elizabeth and I got to see him live when he was in the road in the US with the We Will Rock You Tour. It was such an incredible time. 

Thank You Chad....We will stay in touch....Always~!
