STEVEN SWEET-WARRANT-LET THE GOOD TIMES ROCK TOUR 2024-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14......

Rock legend, Steven Sweet of Warrant, is back out on the road with the band for their 2024 Let The Good Times Rock Tour. It was a huge and pleasant surprise to see when his kit stored in the region came out, Thanks to Eric Domegall, it had his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 along with it. 

I have known Steven for a lot of years now, and over that time he has incorporated his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 & 1.5 Steel--8 x 15 into his live kit at times, and brought the drums in the studio for their 2017 release: Louder-Harder-Faster. He is an amazing Musician, and person, and I have wonderful memories of this incredible band live and those times. I was introduced to him by another beloved legend throughout this business: Michael Foster of Firehouse. 

Hopefully this Fall I will be seeing Warrant live again in Chicago. Thank You Again Steven and Eric.....!






Through the years.....

MATTHEW RHYNER LIVE IN WAUSAU WITH BRAD EMANUEL-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14.....

Touched base recently with Matthew Rhyner (Sammy Llanas, Appleton Music Academy, Brad Emanuel). I always stay in touch with him to see what he is up to Musically. He is such a great guy and Musician.

Last week he was live with Brad Emanuel in Wausau, and he had along his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14. That drum has always been one of his live choices for some years now. But he told me he has been using it on almost everything now, and that was so great to hear 

I have had the privilege of seeing Matthew live with Music legend Sammy Llanas on several occasions with that drum, and I am hoping to catch them live this Summer.

Thanks Again my friend...Really looking forward to seeing you guys live....Soon!

TRACY BROUSSARD-LIVE WITH ZACH RAY-BEIER 1.5 STEEL SERIES......

Nashville legend, and one of the all-time great guys in this business....Tracy Broussard (Blake Shelton), is out doing live dates with Zach Ray. I was so happy as always to see him include one of his four Beier Snare Drums that he has used non-stop for years now. 

One of the drums that he is using with Zach is his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 10. Tracy is one of a handful of players to have this drum, and this drum of course is out of production and was retired in June 2021 with the rest of the original line. It will never cease to amaze me how much this drum is utilized by the players that have them. The other players that have them are David Northrup (Joe Nichols, Oak Ridge Boys, Rick Derringer, Boz Scaggs, Travis Tritt, Wynonna), Kent Slucher (Luke Bryan), Gary Keith Johnson (Lohden Boys, Canopus Drums), and there is one other one and I do not know where/whom it is with right now. I won't ever make one of these again, and is it is really wonderful for me to see them in use constantly.

Hope this band comes around this area...Be so great to see you as always. Thank You For Everything Tracy!

DANIEL BERMUDEZ-SPRING US TOUR WITH WILT-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14.....

Daniel Bermudez just got off the road from a Spring Tour across the US with Wilt. He had out a 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 as his main, and I was so happy to hear how much he liked the drum. I would have loved to have caught the band live mid April in Chicago, and am hoping to in the future when they come around again. 

His father, Demetrius Bermudez, is a legendary TM in the industry, and I have known him for years. I have met a lot of TM's in my day, and he is not only one of the most professional and experienced, he is one of the nicest ones as well.

Thank You Again Daniel for your comments, and Congratulations on a great run. It was great hearing from you as well Demetrius....Thank You!

German great, and long time pal Thomas Nussbaum (Just4You, Feeling Floyd Live, T), just published his set-up for this Summer with Just4You in Germany. I was so happy to see him include his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 in his set-up. He also has a 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 & 6.5 x 15 which he has used live. 

I have always stayed in touch with Thomas, I love hearing and listening to what he is up to Musically, and check in with life in general.

Elizabeth and I met up with him in Scotland along with Sam Lumsden for the UFO Tour, and we had an absolute blast. It really was unforgettable, and was one of the few chances that we all could get together and see the band together and visit with them.  

Have a great run Thomas. Elizabeth says "Hi!!". Will really look forward to the pics from the dates....
