Metropolitan Drum Company Introduces Special Cocktail Toms
January 30, 2009 in Gear, News by Carter
Looks like an interesting debut from a smaller Keller company. Looks like these guys went through extensive R&D on this stuff relating to the sizes of the drums and the corresponding sounds. This better pay off, cause it’s tough getting strangely shaped drums to sound good, in my opinion.

Vater Releases Gospel Sticks
January 29, 2009 in Artists, Gear, News by Carter
Looks like gospel drumming is everywhere we turn these days. After a wonderful night at the Teddy Campbell clinic at Memphis Drum Shop Tuesday (review coming on this week’s show), looks like today that Vater has released several models of gospel sticks. Not sure how these sticks are customized for gospel drumming. The finish looks like the same from the Zildjian Travis Barker signatures, which I recall despising. We’ll have to try some out and see. Comment away if you’ve tried out the sticks. Let us know what you think!

USA Today: Babies Can Feel Rhythm

Found this in this morning’s USA Today. Apparently we might all be born with music engrained in us. Thought this was too interesting not to share with everyone. Enjoy!

Billy Ward Offers Special Downloads
January 26, 2009 in Artists, Music/DVDs, Musicianship, News, Randomness, Videos by Carter
Jazz and studio great Billy Ward (Friend of the Podcast) has gifted us with some excellent tapes of his band rehearsing for this past Modern Drummer Festival as well as some videos of the band playing a gig in New York’s The Cutting Room prior to the MD Fest. Pretty great stuff. He’s also made charts of the songs available. Very cool.
Looks like Billy’s set up a “Pay For It What You Will” system a la Radiohead.They’re available for free but you can pay for them if you want. Billy’s a great guy. Go ahead and support him. Links to the downloads as well as Billy’s thoughts from his site are available after the jump.
