TODD SUCHERMAN-NEW RELEASE FROM FINALLY GEORGE-TITLE TRACK-ICY SKIES-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 15......

I had the honor again of having one of the worlds greatest drummers/musicians select one of my drums for one of his numerous projects-Todd Sucherman. 

Finally George has released Icy Skies, and Todd selected his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 15 on the title track entitled the same: Icy Skies. Todd also used that same drum on the chorus on Finally George's previous release-Life Is A Killer on the song Walk With Me. 

It has been remarkable to see Todd choose various drums from here for his work, and as we all know...The beauty of music, is that it can be revisited for a lifetime. From his acclaimed debut release Last Flight Home, to two albums from Styx, a solo release from Adrian Galysh, and most recently a release from Steve Cole...It is something I am very proud of and grateful for.

Happy New Year to you my friend....Thank You Once Again For Everything......

JOHN MORSE OF BIG CHAD AND THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 15-FRANKIE BANALI'S BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14....

Sending out a big Thank You this morning to John Morse in Arizona of Big Chad & The Southern Gentlemen 

John has used his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 15 as his main for a number of years now live with the band. He also has a 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 12 as an auxiliary, and he recently picked up one of Frankie Banali's drums from Donn Bennett....A 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14. Donn has been handling the drums of the late Frankie Banali, and has done a superb job at dispersing the gear that Frankie had and used from here. I have been getting questions continually about Frankie's drums from here that he used, but they all have sold.

Big Chad & The Southern Gentlemen have been extremely active...Actually they are one of the most active bands live, and have been non-stop. John has been a phenomenal person to deal with, and I have always have been hugely proud that he selects my gear for live performance. 

Thanks You Again John.....Will look forward to staying in touch as always....Thank You Again Donn Bennett.....

GERMANY'S JOCHEN BAUER-#1-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14 IN BLACK NICKEL.....

Jochen Bauer in Germany requested a special drum from here, and I was delighted I was able to make it for him before setting aside Retail production of drums here. 

He requested a 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 in Black Nickel, and this is #1 in that size in Black Nickel. Jochen is a long time pal and supporter of Beier Drums, and he has been very successful in the music scene in Germany. He held the seat for  Heavens A Beer for a number of years, recorded several studio albums with them, and appeared on German nation television for a live performance. Heavens A Beer have made a big imprint on the German music scene, and I am really grateful my drums were along with Jochen for that. Also in his line-up of gear is a 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14, 8 x 14 & 8 x 15. All of the drums were used live, and in the studio.

DANNY BEAN-LIVE WITH MATT WYNN-GATHERING ON THE GREEN-MEQUON, WISCONSIN-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14.......

I had the honor of attending Gathering On The Green recently, and I finally got to meet a drummer who I have wanted to see live and chat with...Danny Bean. 

Danny was on the road this Summer with Matt Wynn, and I was so happy when this date popped up. He has been using his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 as one of his mains for quite some time, and I have watched their clips and been in touch with Danny always. 

This band is incredible, and they got rave reviews for their performance. Danny is an amazing life-long pro behind his kit, and he himself is one of the all-time greatest guy's ever. We had so much fun catching up, talking gear and music, and it really was one of the highlights of the entire season for me. He told me about his drum from here..."That he has the best." I will never forget that comment...Ever. 

Thanks Again my friend, and Congrats to the all of you for a knockout performance.....
