NEW RELEASE FROM FIERCE HEART-THANK YOU NICK FORCHIONE.....

Nick Forchione (Peach Pickers, Fierce Heart) just sent me a copy of the new release from Fierce Heart-War For The World. and this record simply Rocks from the very minute you put it on. I was lucky enough to visit Rex Carroll's studio, had a preview of it, and have been looking forward big time to this release. I am really hoping when live performance comes back...You guys take this out on the road...It would be incredible live as well. 

Nick currently is a part of many projects including the Peach Pickers, and Fierce Heart, and uses a 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 & 4 x 15. I really missed seeing him on the Farm Tour this year with the Peach Pickers. That band, and that whole show, is something every music fan should experience.

Thank You Again my friend...This was an incredibly nice gesture from you. This record I will play...Always. I truly hope to see you soon......

KENT SLUCHER-THE TODAY SHOW WITH LUKE BRYAN-ONE MARGARITA-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 10......

Nashville great...Kent Slucher...Recently appeared on the Today Show with Luke Bryan. Sending out a very sincere Thank You to Kent for having along his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 10. He used the drum, a main auxiliary drum on his kit, for their performance of 'One Margarita".  

The band was incredible as always, and I have had the honor of seeing them live a number of times. Kent is easily one of the most admired, respected, and talented players in music today. He is keeping a very busy schedule with sessions these day's, and will look forward to seeing him live on the road soon.

Thank You Again For Everything Kent Slucher......

SAYING GOODBYE TO A LEGEND....FRANKIE BANALI........

Frankie Banali recently passed after an extended battle with Pancreatic Cancer. To understand the widespread love and admiration for him...It would take a simple glance at the tributes that poured in.

Frankie had time for everyone, and he took time out for me in the early years. I always stayed in touch with him, would text him pics of Quiet Riot banners I would see in venues hanging, people I would run into that were his friends, etc.., 

I will always remember our extended conversations on drums, he was arguably the most knowledgeable drummer I have ever met on Ludwig Drums. He had 5 drums from here, and used them live which is a memory here I will never forget. As well, we had great conversations on our mutual love of the Teas of the world. 

RIP Frankie Banali....You were an incredibly kind and beautiful soul.....And one of the greatest Rock drummers of all-time....

THANK YOU GOING OUT TO WILLIAM DILLA.......

Want to to send out a really big Thank You to Pittsburgh based drummer....William Dilla.....

William was an early customer here, and he currently has three snare drums from here: 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 15, 5.5 x 12, & a new 1.5 Steel--4 x 15. He recently picked up several Merch. items as well which was hugely appreciated. His 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 15 is in Gloss White as well, and it is one of the few that were coated in that color. 

I really appreciate everything my friend...Very, very happy to hear you are enjoying all of your drums, and that you are so happy with the Merch...!
