Zildjian Adds Three New Artist Sticks

February 13, 2009 in Artists, Gear, News by Carter

In their never-ceasing effort to build up their drumstick line, Zildjian has announced three new artist series sticks: Ronald Bruner Jr (Stanley Clarke), John Blackwell (Justin Timberlake), and Ronnie Vannucci (The Killers). These three names will undoubtably boost Zildjian’s street cred for their sticks, not that they needed it. What I think it interesting is the fact that Bruner, who endorses Sabian, uses Zildjian drumsticks. Just seems like an interesting wrinkle in the situation. I wonder if he’ll switch cymbal companies sometime soon…

Drummer Talk Archives – Custom Drum from A to Z(ed) (Part II)

February 13, 2009 in Gear, Podcast, Tips/Hints/DIY by Dave Kropf

We are on our annual Winter Retreat here at VISIBLE SCHOOL, so please enjoy this show from the archives!  This show originally aired Jan 16, 2006.

———-

We finally finish part 2 of Custom Drums from A-Z(ed) with Bryan Rumfola. Plus we talk all about bass drum drum head choices and the many options for you and the Pearl Reference reference returns. Oh, and Steve Gadd swings by for a visit!! (P.S. I know the sound is a little peak-ish on this episode and the background music is a bit loud but please bear with us. It was a crazy sound night last night.)

Note: part I can be found here.
