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. 

Thanks You Again my friend....I will look forward to staying in touch with you as always. Elizabeth and I hope to see you in Germany soon....

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.....

Nashville legend, and a great friend...Seth Rausch (Keith Urban, Little Big Town) has been back out on the road. He is currently finishing up a string of dates with Tenille Arts, and is behind the kit for live dates with Don Felder also.

Seth currently has his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 12-#1 out on the road with Tenille, and he will be using his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 & 5.5 x 15 with Don when the dates are not backline.

Thank You Seth....Always. Be in touch my friend...

DONN DENNISTON-NEW RELEASE FROM ROD JOHNSON-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 x 14.....

I just finished listening to the new release from Rod Johnson..."Looking For  A Perfect Trip"......

Donn Deniston used his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 on this record, that is usually his first choice for the many records he has recorded with his drums from here. That also is his live choice a great deal of the time. He also has a 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14, and the first 1.5 Steel--4 x 14 in action. I have an upcoming article on his comments & feedback on that drum. He asked me about that size years ago along with Jaran Sorenson from The Outlaws.  

Once Again....Thank You Donn for this, and Congratulations to Rod Johnson on a great release. I really, really enjoyed this record, and it is one that a listener will always remember.....

Sending out a huge Congratulations & Thank You to a long time friend...Jules Radino of Blue Oyster Cult.

Jules was recently in the July issue of Modern Drummer, and it was an excellent article. He broke down the gear he used on Blue Oyster Cult's "The Symbol Remains." I knew about this record before it came out, and that he included my gear, and I am stunningly proud of that. He used his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 & 4 x 15 on select tunes on the record. 

Jules also used his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 on Blue Oyster Cult's "40th Anniversary Live in London," and "40th Anniversary Agents Of Fortune." Both were released on DVD as well.

Thank You Again for all of the years of support my friend. This is something I will never forget, and because of the beauty of Music...I can relive these for a long time to come. Your an amazing Artist & Friend....
