RODNEY EDMONDSON-LIVE WITH RONNIE MILSAP-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14.....

I had an incredible time last weekend with Nashville legend Rodney Edmondson here in Wisconsin. The 2020 Ronnie Milsap tour rolled through here, and I could not have been more delighted about that.

Rodney had along his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 for the tour, and the band, and this show, is one that everyone should see if they have not. It was amazing, nostalgic, heartwarming....And is a true representation of what entertainment and music should be. 

Thank You for the great time Rodney, and for the introduction to Ronnie. Elizabeth and I appreciated this evening more than you know. You are like everyone say's you are....Your an incredible person, and drummer.

Looking forward to seeing you soon......

LARRY MITCHELL-NEW SINGLE WITH THE STRAY CAT LEE ROCKER-DOG HOUSE SHUFFLE-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15....

Lee Rocker just put out his new single Dog House Shuffle, and wanted to send out a huge Thank You to Larry Mitchell for using his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 on this. 

The song is a knockout, and it is true to form of the incredible musicianship that this whole band holds. I will be seeing them again this Spring, and it is a show that I am really looking forward to.

Larry has used his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 as one of his mains for the last three years, and he will be using a new addition starting in Spring 2020. It is tailored to his style, and the music. Adding in his unbelievable talent....It will surely be an interesting first show with it when I see him.

Thank You Again Larry!

BOBBY MACINTYRE OF STUDIO 71 RECORDS-LIVE WITH NIL LARA-BEIER 1.5 STEEL 15" SERIES.....

The mega-talented, and widely respected drummer and engineer....Bobby Macintyre of Studio 71 Records....Has been busy as always these day's. 

He has been out live with Nil Lara, and as always it was great to hear he had along one of his four Beier 1.5 Steel-15" Snare Drums. The last show he had his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 15 along. That seems to be out the most often with him for that gig, but he has used all of them in different capacities live, and in the studio. He is one of two players to have all four of the 15" drums from here, and he uses them as his main always. 

Thank You Again Bobby.....Let's catch up soon!








EDDIE BAYERS-LIFETIME FEATURE MOVIE-SONY PICTURES-PATSY & LORETTA-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 13..

In recently picked up a copy of Sony Pictures Lifetime Feature Movie...Patsy & Loretta. It is an incredible film and soundtrack, and I really loved it.

Wanted to send out a very special Thank You to one of the most recorded and beloved drummers of all time...Eddie Bayers. Eddie used his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 13 for the soundtrack to this film, and this was truly an honor. The drum is also #1 of 1 in Black Nickel, and was made especially for him.

Thank You Again Eddie.....

MICHAEL GRANDO-LIVE WITH JOE DIFFIE IN WISCONSIN-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15....

I recently had an incredibly fun time seeing Nashville great & friend, Michael Grando. He was in town on tour with Joe Diffie, and it has been some time since I have seen him live.

Michael had along his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 which he has used live in rotation for years. It is one of the few in Gloss White. I was introduced to him years ago by drumming legend Pat McDonald. 

Thanks Again Michael for a great time, and for having that drum out with you. Your chops & this band have always been off the charts. Hoping you guys will shy around soon.....
