Drums
There was plenty for drummers
to do at the show. In addition to the ""World's Fastest Drummer"
Contest, held out on the lobby, there were plenty of drummer's that took a
turn on the big kit displays of the show, which always drew a crowd.
Next time my band needs a drummer, Namm is the place to be!
SONOR
Sonor was showing off its
reknown SQ2 system
Factory
Metal Percussion
As I love cymbals, I was drawn
to the booth by a small company called Factory Metal Percussion, who were
displaying their hand crafted effects cymbals. These look a little
like propeller blades, and are sure to bring attention to any drummer.
The sounds of these were quite
shattering and often exotic. They can be stacked right on top of one
another to dramatize the effect. The names of their cymbals are just
as captivating, such as the Celtic Bell, Gothic Radius, Cross Benderz, Cross
Crasherz, and FX Shrapnel. You can add Hi-Hat Jinglers (very worldly
sounding) and sizzlers to many. Best thing of all, the prices are
reasonable, and quite cost-effective in terms of the attention they might
deliver in return. There is more info and some sound samples at
www.FactoryMetalPercussion.com
Time to go back to the
keyboards.
