NICK FORCHIONE-LUKE BRYAN'S FARM TOUR-LIVE WITH THE PEACH PICKERS-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14...

After three years of scheduling and logistical problems, I finally made it to Luke Bryan's Farm Tour. It was, as expected, a complete and absolute great time.

Nick Forchione (Peach Pickers) had his main-Beier 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 for the show, as he has for the past two tours. The Peach Pickers is an incredible ensemble of song writers and musicians, and they were unbelievable live....And were a huge hit with the crowd. I will be posting some video clips of the Peach Pickers set from the show....It was truly off-the-hook!

As well, I want to give a big shout out to Luke Bryan's drummer Kent Slucher. It is always great to see him, and his live performance. 

Thank You Again for a great time you guy's. Looking forward to next year already!

MAT DONALDSON-WESTON HORN AND THE HUSH-VOLUME II-DON'T GIVE UP-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--8 X 14....

Sending out a huge Thank You to Mat Donaldson of Drum World Tulsa, and his band....The amazing Weston Horn & The Hush. They recently released their Volume II-Don't Give Up, and it is as great of a record as Volume I. Mat used his 1.5 Steel--8 x 14 on almost the entire record, and that drum also has been his main for live performance with the band for a number of years now. 

Congrats to all all of you, and Thank You Mat Donaldson for everything....











MARKO DVUNJAK LIVE-THE ANDREAS GABALIER STADIUM TOUR-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15........

Croatian great, Marko Dvunjak, recently completed a stadium tour with Andreas Gabalier. I was beyond delighted to hear that he had selected his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 for the entire tour. Marko has had the drum since Spring of 2019, and I have hugely enjoyed his feedback on the drum.

I cannot say Thank You enough my friend....This was a huge honor for me. I have really enjoyed all of our drum conversations, and I am really looking forward to your work with the 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 13 as well. You are one of the great drummers of Europe, and one of the nicest guys I know as well. Your calling to attention the Humanitarian efforts of the world is very needed these day's, and is most admirable....

Hvala Vam! 

















JULES RADINO-IN THE STUDIO WITH BLUE OYSTER CULT-NEW ALBUM-BEIER SNARE DRUMS.....

Jules Radino has been keeping a busy tour schedule, and he has also been in the studio with Blue Oyster Cult. They are laying tracks for their highly anticipated new release, and he will be taking a number of his snare drums from Beier Drums in for the sessions.

Jules has used a 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 for over 500 shows on the road, owns one of the early 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 15', and also a 4 x 15. Both of those he has used live as well. 

Have seen this band live many times, and there is no doubt this album is going to be a knockout. As well, Jules is one of the great drummers in this business, and one of the most widely respected and admired people I know. 

Thank You my friend for considering your drums from here for this record. See you this Fall in Chicago!
