  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    A great melody and the ability to take it and be creative with it on a drumset. Drums should not be seen as a tool to be the backbone of any ensemble, there are too many textures and colors that can in equal measures drive, sedate and transfix the listener for drums to be used purely for keeping time.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Vic Firths history alone is not enough for me to choose their/his sticks, but the unparalleled levels of execution and excellence means that all the specifics, design, weight, length - equal accuracy and consistency for the user on a level that is unique to the family of VF and all who use them.
