HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM BEIER DRUMS!

ADAM IDELL-LIVE WITH SLOW BURNING CAR-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14....

I recently heard from Adam Idell of Slow Burning Car, and as always...I so enjoy hearing from players, and staying in touch.

He pulled out his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 for a recent gig, and that is a drum he has had for some time. It is also featured on several tracks of their release: Defection. I picked up this record when it came out, love it, and keep it in rotation here.

Many Thanks Again Adam....It is always awesome touching base. I hope you, your family, and the band have a very Happy New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM BEIER DRUMS!

BOBBY MACINTYRE-STUDIO 71-BEIER 15" SNARE DRUMS....

Want to send out a huge Thank You to my pal this morning....Drummer/Producer/Engineer extraordinaire...Bobby MacIntyre of Studio 71.

We recently touched base here, and he is one of those friends I think of often, and am always wondering what he is working on. Bobby is a multi-faceted talent with a long, long list of credits. He is also one of two players to have all four of the Beier 15" Snare Series, and he is currently playing live for Nil Lara as well. 

Merry Christmas to you Bobby and your family. Look forward to touching base after the Holidays my friend. Thank You for all of your support....

SCOTTY SIMPSON-THE SPICE OF LIFE-DAVID NORTHRUP AND EDDIE BAYERS JR.-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15....

Huge Thank You going out today to Nashville legend Scotty Simpson (Tanya Tucker, Pam Tillis, Travis Tritt, Oak Ridge Boys)...

I recently attended the Oak Ridge Boys Shine The Light Christmas Tour, and Scotty gave me an autographed CD of his latest: The Spice Of Life. I played this record on the way home from Chicago, and three more times after that. It is a phenomenal record, and struck me as a cross-over in styles with Country & Pop being the dominant styles. 

Add in the fact that Nashville superstars Eddie Bayers Jr., and David Northrup both used their Beier 1.5 Steel--4 x 15' on this, and Grammy Award winning Mark Capps engineered, recorded and mixed this album....It was certainly a full-circle musical experience for me.

I also got to meet Austin Curcuroto who is behind the kit for the Oak Ridge Boys, and landed the seat a year ago over almost several hundred candidates. After seeing him play, it is easy to see why he was chosen. Masterful drummer, and all around awesome person. Thank You Austin for taking time out, and for everything.

Merry Christmas to all of you and your families, and Thank You Again!

Jarred Pope recently finished the 2018 Fall/Winter tour dates with Tom Keifer, and it was great to see he had his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 as his main.

Special Thanks today going out to Nashville legend, and easily one of the most respected drummers in music....Tommy Harden.

Tommy recently headed out for some dates on The Hits Tour 2018 with Alabama, and I was of course extremely happy to see him with one of his mains....The Beier 1.5 Steel--4 x 15. He has used that drum live, and in countless sessions and records over the years. His talent never ceases to amaze me, and he has been one of the greatest guys from A-Z to deal with.  

Please click on the link below for a download of the latest from Lost Hollow...A Lost Hollow Christmas. Him and his wife Lorrie put out incredible records. I love Christmas music, and this record will be one of my annual favorites for sure.

LEMUEL HAYES LIVE-NICKI BLUHM 2018 TOUR-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 15....

Nicki Bluhm's 2018 tour recently stopped in Milwaukee, and I was extremely happy I was able to make it to this show....

Nashville based Lemuel Hayes was behind the kit, and he had along his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 15 which he recently picked up. He is using the drum as an auxiliary, and as a main on select tunes. This band was knockout-great, and I also really enjoyed my pre-show visit with him and Kenosha,WI based Tim Baltes. Lots of great Drum Talk!

Thanks Again Lemuel...I really appreciated you taking time out, and your comments on the 1.5 Steel--4 x 15. Hope to see you soon again in this area...

JOCHEN BAUER-HEAVENS A BEER-NEW VIDEO FROM NURBURGRING SPEEDWAY-GERMANY-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14...

Jochen Bauer of Heavens A Beer was recently at one of the top race tracks in the world, the Nurburgring Speedway, Nurburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, with Heavens A Beer. The band was in town to perform their anthem for the speedway-Ose Ring.

Jochen currently has three snare drums from Beier Drums: 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14, 8 x 14, & 8 x 15. On the studio track for Ose Ring, and for many live performances, he is using the 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 these day's. The band keeps a lively tour schedule, and the single for the speedway has been a big hit. Bottom Line: These guy's are great, and this tune just knocked me out. It was released with vocals, and as an instrumental as well.

Many Thanks to my long time pal, and Congrats all the way around to Heavens A Beer. Looking forward to your future releases a great deal....

THOMAS NUSSBAUM-LIVE WITH FEELING FLOYD-GERMANY-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15...

Have had an incredibly great time staying in touch with German based professional...Thomas Nussbaum. He recently picked up a 1.5 Steel--4 x 15, and he is using it non-stop live. 

We had long discussions on drums, and particularly different types of heads. It settled on the Aquarian Textured Coated Power Dot. That head, to me, is one of the best made...Ever. He is very happy with it, and I have used a lot of these on my drums. 

Congrats on landing the new gig with Feeling Floyd Thomas. The clips...Were awesome. Thank You for your time, support, interest, and enthusiasm. Looking forward to staying in touch, and to hearing what you guy's are creating...!

LYNYRD SKYNYRD LEGEND ARTIMUS PYLE-LIVE IN CHICAGO-ARTIMUS PYLE BAND-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14....

Have been waiting for some time, but the amazing Artimus Pyle Band finally rolled through Chicago, and it was a great time to catch up with them.

This band live is incredible, and they always have been. As well, they are some of the greatest guys on the road. Have seen them a number of times, and was introduced to them by Monte Yoho of The Outlaws at a Southern Revival Concert. 

Artimus has been using his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 as his main since the first day he received it. To see him roll through the set of songs, playing that drum, is an incredible moment for a drum maker. I am a long-time fan of his, and was in the beginning.

Thanks Again to all of you in the band for taking time out...Great hang afterwards! See you soon...Thank You Again For Everything Artimus..

"I love my Beier 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14...It is the best drum I have ever owned.."

Artimus Pyle
