CHAD MELCHERT AND HIS BEIER 1.5 STEEL--7.5 X 15...PERFORMANCE AT THE CCMA AWARDS WITH GORD BAMFORD-NEW TOUR IN JANUARY 2018....

One of Canada's greatest talents, and all-around good guy...Chad Melchert is simply full-out in his work these day's. I am really Thankful as well that has included a lot of work recently with his new Beier 1.5 Steel--7.5 x 15. Donny Lee's new single: "Another Round Of You" will be out on November 9th. This is the first single with the new drum, and Chad mentioned to me the drum was wide open, and had no moon gels. Link below to purchase the single. I am pre-ordered, and am really looking forward to this!

I always anticipate the results of all of his his sessions. He started with this drum on September 20th, and has used it quite a bit already. Included are some pics from a recent session at Sound Extractor Studio's in Edmonton with a vintage Premier kit.  It sounded like he really enjoyed playing the kit, and I have been a long-time fan of vintage Premier drums.

His comment so far..."The Beier 1.5 Steel--7.5 x 15 blew my mind!". Chad is also headed out in January for Gord Bamford's "Neon Smoke Tour". For sessions, as well on the road, he has along the 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 and/or the 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 a lot of the time. Both of these drums have popped up on numerous records with him, (See "Records" section), have been used non-stop live, and for his recent clinic this last Summer.

Enclosed also is a link for a spectacular performance at this year's CCMA Awards. It really is a must see & listen....

Thank You Chad. Incredibly happy to hear you are enjoying that drum, Thank You as always for your support, and Congrats on your new Gretsch Brooklyn 7 x 13!
