File this under the "Never buy this unless at gunpoint" section. Meinl, in a flail of a money grab, is pushing their new Drum Rug... in zebra print. The starting price... wait for it. Wait for it... $130.00. No, that was not a joke. Meinl is trying to tell you that you need to spend ONE HUNDRED THIRTY DOLLARS on a drum mat, excuse me... ZEBRA PRINTED drum mat when Lowe's sells the same thing ...

Thought I'd share one of my favorite videos with you all today. This one's of Benny Greb groovin' away in his studio. I love the simplicity of these clips. Just a couple of mics and a drumset. Something beautifully perfect about that. Enjoy!

Hammered brass would be darker and dryer than, say, regular nickel or silver jingles. But, those slots are way too large and would allow too much jingle movement to be considered “dry.” And the triangle shape is a gimmick. Would have no effect on the “dry” aspect.
I see and hear their cymbals and I just can’t take them seriously. These other products do nothing to boost my confidence. Guess I’ll stay with Sabian.
I’d rather buy a Black Swamp tambourine for this price. Crazy. Tune in next week when Meinl reveals the extra dry triangle. It’s made of wood.
This just in:… Meinl announces the Derek Roddy series of Blast Beat Cymbal sleeves.These sleeves are made with hand picked nylon, and are individually crafted in our factories in Germany by our “sleeve-oligist” Klaus. Sleeves are “pitch matched” and then packaged in groups of 4. Each group will have two “crash” sleeves (12″ & 16″) and two “ride” sleeves (18″ & 22″). Individual sleeves can be special ordered from the factory. They will protect your Meinl cymbals from the ravages of the inferior metal cymbal stands you are likely using now. Packages start at $22.50
