ENRIQUE SORVILL-LIVE WITH TWISTED ENVY IN MIAMI-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14.......

It was great to hear from Miami based  Enrique Sorvill recently. He is back out on the live circuit with a new band...Twisted Envy, and it was so great to hear this. He formerly held the seat behind his kit for 22 North.

Enrique had along his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 which has been his main for years. He was referred to my drums from industry great-Tony Escapa (Ricky Martin) who I was delighted to hear from recently as well. 

It is always incredible for me to see drummers refer back and select my drums for their work. That was the intention of Beier Drums...To make drums that players remembered: In Their Ears. This band is great, lit up, and as always I am looking forward to following their posts and live clips. I will be posting a live clip of the band when the new video player is up on the site. 

Thank You Again Enrique. I cannot tell you how great it was to hear from you, and I am so happy you are back out live....!

TOM LOPPNOW-LIVE WITH ONE LOUDER-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14........

I recently got to see long time supporter and friend Tom Loppnow live with One Louder. He picked up a new 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 I had in stock to replace a drum that unfortunately had been stolen. That drum had been his main for many years live, and in the studio. He was missing the vibe of his drum, gave me a call, and it was so great to touch base with him again. It has been a bit. 

Tom is currently behind the kit with his new band,  One Louder. They are a complete knockout of a live act, they are primarily an 80's Tribute Band. The audience response to them is huge, they have an extremely busy schedule, and every single person in this band is just a stellar Musician. 

The band is based in the area, and I am really looking forward to seeing them live soon again. Thank You Tom...It is always so great to see you. Congratulations to you and the band...You all will do incredibly well.....

CANADIAN LEGEND CHAD MELCHERT-ON THE ROAD-IN THE STUDIO-LONG & MCQUADE DRUM CLINIC-NEW RELEASES-BEIER 1.5 STEEL SERIES............

I lost count quite some time ago on how many times I have said Thank You to Canadian legend, and long time pal, Chad Melchert. Since stepping down from touring full-time with Gord Bamford, he is busier than ever with in his Abbigail Road Drum Studio, performing at select live dates, and doing clinics. He is the epitome of a professional, is a 5 time CCMA Drummer Of The Year winner, is the first drummer to ever be inducted into the CCMA Hall Of Honor. and is one of the most sought after session and live drummers in Canada.

He has recently been out doing live dates, and did a clinic for Long & McQuade. Just wanted to send out a massive Thank You to him for having one of his Beier 1.5 Steel Series snare drum along. In this case it was his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 which has been a long time favorite of his. I am getting ready to follow up with him on the sessions that I have noted for all of the new releases he has used the drums on as well. I have done this for years with him, and recorded material is, and always has been, paramount in importance to me.   

Cheers to my pal Chad Melchert...It is always so incredible to see your friends fly high, and he is doing just that. But with being the Musician & person that he is...It is the inevitable, and completely unavoidable. Smile. 









Through the years......
