Paiste’s New Alpha Series – The Smart Choice for Serious Sound

2008-01-07T12:14:00.000-08:00

Alpha Cymbals were first launched by Paiste in 1992. Since then, the Alpha Series has been highly successful on an international scale. Today, the Alpha brand is synonymous with dependability, and the cymbals are well known for their first-class sound and fair prices. In 2006, Paiste presents a completely revamped Alpha, which advances these trusted qualities and takes Alpha cymbals to a new level.

In recent years, Paiste has invested heavily into the perfection of its hi-tech processes, seeking to faithfully reproduce the principles of Swiss hand craftsmanship in its modern production facility in Germany. The new Alpha cymbals are manufactured using this top-notch technology. They are then enhanced using traditional hand hammering. The combination of hi-tech and traditional methods brings about never before realized quality levels in a highly efficient production environment. Alpha cymbals thus fulfill high demands in quality and function while taking into the account the financial realities of today’s active drummers.

Paiste has designed the new Alpha series specifically with the global demands of today’s music in mind. Global music increasingly combines stylistic and cultural backgrounds into new musical forms, requiring cymbals with wider application range. By applying modern design concepts to the individual models, Paiste has met these requirements convincingly. The assortment offers a wide choice of models and sizes, and covers a wide range of music styles. It allows the drummer an optimal variety of sounds in the cymbal set. Despite all of these improvements, the company is offering the new Alpha cymbals at unchanged retail prices.

Product Spotlight: RUDE “Wild” Crashes

For Immediate Release September 2007

Paiste expands the RUDE line with a Wild Crash (17”/18”/19”/20”) adding more choices for today’s heaviest hitters. With its prominent un-lathed greenish surface that is only found on the world-renowned RUDE line, the Wilds are a bit heavier & louder, a little higher in pitch and even more aggressive than the 2002 Wild Crashes. Yet they are very crunchy in sound and shorter in sustain than the classic RUDE Crash/Ride. The RUDE Wild Crash is perfectly suited for the loudest accents and continuous crash/riding in raw and aggressive music forms. Get some and be heard...

Stewart Copeland and Paiste Co-Develop Unique Ride Cymbal

2008-01-07T12:01:00.000-08:00

Stewart Copeland and Paiste Co-Develop Unique Ride Cymbal

For Immediate Release July 2007

Nottwil/Switzerland – The renowned Swiss cymbal maker Paiste announces the introduction of the Signature 22" Blue Bell Ride at the 2007 Summer NAMM Show.

This special Ride cymbal was created by Paiste’s Sound Development team in collaboration with the legendary drummer Stewart Copeland, who has inspired an entire generation of drummers with his unique playing style as the driving force behind The Police, one of the most influential and groundbreaking rock bands of the past few decades. The introduction of this model coincides with the celebrated world-wide reunion tour of The Police.

The 22" Blue Bell Ride is based on the Signature 22" Dark Metal Ride, and was modified according to Stewart Copeland’s exacting specifications. In the process, this development reintroduces Paiste’s unique ColorSound coating, as the cymbal is coated partially blue on top and fully on the bottom.

The 22" Blue Bell Ride features a dry, slightly dark, raw and melodic sound. Its dominant characteristics include a clear, glassy ping and a distinctive strong, deep bell, in accordance with Stewart Copeland’s Ride playing technique within the context of the music of The Police. As a tribute to Stewart’s collaborative effort in the creation of this unique cymbal, the label “The Rhythmatist” and Stewart Copeland’s “Rider” logo appear in conjunction with the model designation on the cymbal. Signature cymbals are entirely made by hand in Switzerland using traditional methods that have remained unchanged in over half a century. ColorSound is a proprietary coating for cymbals developed by Paiste in the 1980s, which optimizes the effect of a coating on cymbal sound and is extremely durable.

RHYTHM WATCH RW105

2008-01-07T10:36:00.000-08:00

TAMA

The first timekeeper designed specifically for the band's timekeeper, TAMA's Rhythm Watch had everything a drummer needed to make sure the time was right-live and in the studio. The original Rhythm Watch featured enough volume to play with real drums, a large, easy-to-read display, a dial for quick tempo adjustments, separate volumes for quarter notes, eighths and triplets...the list went on and on.
The RW105 now features a backlit display, 30 different memory settings, and up to nine different beat divisions. The only thing we didn't change was the simplicity.

The aluminum Rollaway stand in black finish offers easy yet secure positioning thanks to another TAMA original idea: Power Tower stand components. Available with Chrome shell hardware only.

Gong Bass drums are available in all the Starclassic Bubinga & Maple finishes.
GSB and SSB finishes will feature a fade rather than a burst.

MIKE PORTNOY

2008-01-05T12:12:00.000-08:00

MIKE PORTNOY

The story of Mike Portnoy's signature snare began in 1997 when Mike came up with the idea of a tension strainer controlled by a foot pedal—very cool, but very complicated and too expensive for all but maybe five people in the world. So Mike and Tama came up with an equally cool (but less complicated and expensive) three-way snare strainer which makes switching tension as easy as switching between two snare drums. Named after his daughter, Melody, Mike Portnoy's Melody Master drums come in two versions: his main snare, the MP1455 maple, and the MP125 steel.

MP125 (5"x12") "Melody Master" ->

<- MP1455 (5.5"x14") "melody master"

SUPERSTAR

2008-01-05T12:09:00.000-08:00

MORE THAN JUST ATTITUDE (but with attitude to spare)

How often have you imagined the drums you’d like to play? The sound. The professional hardware. The finish gleaming in the spotlights. Then you wake up and see what you can really afford. Kind of an unwelcome reality check—unless you’ve seen and played TAMA Superstar. Superstar has all the killer looks and in-your-face attitude you expect from a pro rock set. But Superstar is “More Than Just Attitude.” Superstar provides all the power, projection, and durability you expect from professional kit, but at a price that’s much less than the traditional intermediate set. In sound, features looks and quality, Superstar breaks thru the price barriers and delivers the goods—all the sound and all the attitude you ever dreamed of.

MC66

HP200TWB Twin Pedal

2008-01-05T12:02:00.000-08:00

TWIN PEDAL

Absolutely affordable in price, our HP200TWB pedal is also completely professional in performance.

STICKS

2008-01-05T11:44:00.000-08:00

You can have the most expensive kit in the world and still be miserable if you can't find the right stick. TAMA makes finding the right stick a whole lot easier. TAMA sticks are available in various different series. Traditional series features traditional sizes such as 5A, 7A, 2B etc. Standard series utilizes an original TAMA sizing system, which allows you to simply select your stick by the grip diameters and tip shapes.

Japanese Oak

American Hickory

Tip Style

B : Ball

This is the most popular tip shape due to its ability to produce consistent notes. A great stick for beginners as well as pros.

P : Popular

The teardrop shape allows you to change and control the sound according to how you hit the heads and cymbals.

N : Nylon

Nylon provides a sharp clear sound and added durability, which makes nylon tip sticks especially prized for cymbal work.

S : Small

Smaller tips offer subtlety, volume control, clarity and precision.

TAMA

2008-01-05T11:38:00.001-08:00

A Premium Quality Union

The distinct and traditional Birch sound, enjoyed for over thirty years, has reached a new plateau. By using Bubinga wood for the inner layer of the Birch shell, TAMA has created a new chapter in the Starclassic series. This mixture of Birch and Bubinga has borne a new sound with a sweeter and deeper hybrid tone, which exhibits the focused attack of Birch paired with the enhanced lows of Bubinga. TAMA’s newly developed tom-holder provides you with excellent setting flexibility.

There are lots of acoustic drums to choose from, as well as percussion instruments from around the world. You will also find some killer special effects voices that take away any limits on your creativity.

22 keyboard voicesThe DXPRESS IV module has 22 keyboard voices that you can trigger from the pads. This allows you to trigger melodic patterns or program melodic loops into the on-board sequencer that you can use as part of your live performance.

Great feeling padsThe pads on the DXPRESS IV Special have natural rebound and great dynamic response so you will be able to get express all of your musical ideas. The special kit has a 3 zone snare with pad controller that lets you make snare tension adjustments, change the pitch, or alter the tempo of a sequence that you are playing to. There are 3 toms, a 3-zone crash, a mono crash, and a 3-zone ride. The cymbal pads are round, and have a natural swing and rebound for realistic feel. The hi hat pad mounts to a real hi hat stand (that's included with the kit), and responds much like an acoustic hi hat.

You can assign any of these songs to any pad in the kit, and then start or stop the song by hitting the pad. To give you even more musical choices, you can plug your CD or MP3 player into the AUX IN of the module and play along with your favorite music.

Programmable clickThe module has a programmable metronome that can play subdivisions of quarter, eighth, sixteenth, or triplets. You can control the volume of each subdivision to give the patterns a different feel.

2007-12-30T11:08:00.001-08:00

New this year, Masters Premium series snare drums pack a smart new feature, swivel lugs. Swivel lugs allow for optimal head seating, ensuring precision tuning for the best snare sound possible

Golden Ratio Air Vents (pat. pend)

2007-12-30T11:07:00.001-08:00

The Golden Ratio has been in used by artists and engineers since at least the Renaissance to create aesthetic proportions in art and architecture. Intrigued by this ratio, R&D asked, "Would it work for sound?" Or more specifically, if the Golden Ratio was applied to the location of air vents, could you hear a difference? To find out, they made several prototype drums with the air vent positioned at 1.618033898 x the depth of the drum. Listening tests in Japan and the US confirmed conclusively that it indeed worked and actually made the sound deeper! Experience the sound of Golden Ratio air vents, exclusively on the new Masters Premium.

Aluminum OptiMount System:

2007-12-30T11:05:00.001-08:00

In our never-ending quest for perfection, we’ve taken our already sleek top-of-the-line OptiMount and made it lighter by changing the body from zinc to premium aluminum, called the OptiMount "A". The new feather-light aluminum body is nearly "invisible" to the drum and allows the shells to vibrate to their maximum potential for significantly improved resonance and sustain.

The Masterworks Concept

2007-12-30T10:59:00.000-08:00

Custom Drums. There seems to be quite a few companies making them these days. Most buy shells from the same manufacturer, mount hardware they bought from some place else, and apply a custom paint job. The end result, after a lot of hype, is a custom drum set...or is it? Masterworks hopes to change the way drummers view a custom set of drums. At Pearl, the word custom holds quite a bit more reverence. It means we made it, not assembled it. It means everything about the kit is made by hand, one piece at a time, by a Pearl master craftsman. From hand selecting the finest woods and painstakingly forming the shell, to die casting and plating the hardware that mounts to it, drums bearing the Masterworks badge are one of a kind ultimate acoustic instruments, hand made to your specifications, with the expertise and quality no other company can match.
Masterworks is about choices for the discriminating drummer. Choices like North American Maple, Scandinavian Birch and African Mahogany. Three highly prized woods for shell composition, not just the same shell everyone else custom paints. Choices like four shell thickness options, hardware plating options and full control over sizes and unlimited finishes. If this is starting to sound different from what most companies call a custom drum set, then you see the concept behind Masterworks. At Pearl, we are dedicated to producing the finest drums in the world at our new Masterworks Custom Shop facility. Hand Made. Completely Custom. When you're ready...we hope to build a set for you.

terry bozzio

2007-12-28T10:42:00.000-08:00

Terry Bozzio first got his start as the drummer for Frank Zappa's backing band during the '70s, but would go on to become one of rock's most versatile session men, and form one of new wave's most visually exciting outfits, Missing Persons, along with then-wife, Dale Bozzio.

Born Terry John Bozzio on December 27, 1950 in San Francisco, California, Bozzio began playing on makeshift drums at an early age, before taking formal lessons at the age of 13 (inspired by the Beatles' infamous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show). After playing in various local garage bands during the mid-late '60s, Bozzio majored in music while attending Sir Francis Drake High School and College of Marin - as he studied timpani and various forms of percussion.

By the early '70s, Bozzio had landed gigs with such rock musicals as Godspell and Walking in my Time, in addition to playing in several jazz/fusion outfits and appearing on his first record - backing trumpeter Luis Gasca on his 1972 release, Born to Love You. 1975 saw Bozzio catch his big career break, when he auditioned for and got a spot drumming for Frank Zappa. Bozzio's tenure with Zappa lasted only three years, but the drummer was featured on ten albums and countless tours (Bozzio also appeared in the Zappa concert movie, Baby Snakes). Bozzio also served as the inspiration for several Zappa compositions during their time together, including "the Black Page" and "Punky's Whips." After leaving Zappa in 1978, Bozzio nearly landed spots with a pair of potentially interesting outfits - a jazz supergroup called Group 87 (consisting of bassist Patrick O'Hearn and keyboardist Mark Isham, among others) and already-established hard rockers Thin Lizzy.

Unfortunately, both wound up not working out for Bozzio (although he would play on Group 87's self-titled debut recording a couple of years later). But Bozzio didn't have to wait long to join his next project, as he got the thumbs up to join prog rockers UK in 1979. The same year, he played on a pair of UK albums, (Danger Money and Night After Night), plus their subsequent supporting tours. Up next for Bozzio was a new wave project with his wife Dale Bozzio and former Frank Zappa guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, called Missing Persons.

The group's space age sound and look turned heads right off the bat, as they enjoyed a pair of hit singles/videos ("Words" and "Destination Unknown"), as well as a gold certified debut album, 1982's Spring Session M. But the band (and Bozzio's marriage) didn't last much longer, as Missing Persons issued only two more albums before splitting up - 1984's Rhyme and Reason and 1986's Color in Your Life. Subsequently, Bozzio has focused primarily on either recording or touring with a wide variety of acclaimed artists, including Robbie Robertson, Gary Wright, Don Dokken, Paul Hyde, Herbie Hancock, Dweezil Zappa, Richard Marx, Jeff Beck, Duran Duran, Explorer's Club, Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others.

Bozzio also began performing clinics for fellow drummers across the country, in addition to issuing an instructional home video in 1992, Solo Drums. The late '90s saw the drummer issue albums as part of the all-star trio Bozzio Levins Stevens (Black Light Syndrome and Situation Dangerous), plus collaborative albums with Chad Wackerman (Solos & Duets Vol. I & II), and solo releases (Drawing the Circle, Chamberworks, Solo Drum Music Vol. I & II). 2001 saw Terry rejoin Missing Persons for a series of reunion concerts.

virgil donati

2007-12-28T10:26:00.000-08:00

In January 2002, Virgil signed an endorsement deal with Pearl Drums.

After a long association, Virgil parted ways with the Premier Drum Company, and has signed a new endorsement deal with Pearl. As a lot of people may be aware, Virgil has been endorsing the Pearl Eliminator Pedals for the past two years, and now the switch to Pearl drums as well, seems like a natural progression. It's expected that the benefits of this deal will accrue to the ever-growing Virgil Donati fans.Says Virgil: "I'm thrilled to be playing Pearl Drums, and I'm excited by the possibilities that this relationship will open up. My association with Pearl will give me the opportunity to get out there even more!" Pearl has made a commitment to bring Virgil's brand of drumming to more people in more corners of this Planet!We'll announce the new series that Virgil will be using in detail in the near future. The gear section will be updated soon after. Initially, Virgil will be playing on the Pearl Masters MRX Maple 6-ply along with Sabian Cymbals.

Launched at NAMM 2005, Virgil Donati's very own signature snare drum model!

The new VG-1450 Virgil Donati signature snare drum features a 14” x 5” shell with 4 outer plies of 100% Maple over 4 inner plies of 100% Birch. The 8 ply shell produces a super bright tone accentuated even more by the 4 inner plies of Birch. With a rounded top bearing edge many drummers will find that they can play this drum wide open without any muffling. Virgil selected the snare bed used on Pearl’s Philharmonic snares which provide a totally flat bed within the width of the snares for ultimate snare response. The drums impressive styling is capped with Die Cast chrome hoops and a Smoke Flake finish. Other features include chrome plated brass tube lugs, ultra-precise Stainless Steel tension rods and SR-017 Vertical Pull Strainer.

In January 2000, at the Winter NAMM show, Sabian unveiled Virgil's signature Saturation crashes. The available sizes are 16", 17", 18" and 19".

Virgil's big thing is crashes. And because of his tremendous proficiency with double bass pedals he's extremely particular about the crashes he plays when accenting with his feet. His request was for bright, explosive sounds that would be dense with tone... sounds that were literally saturated with a full range of musical tonality, so the response would be full and resonant at all volume levels.
The response was the Signature Saturation Crash. These are available in 16", 17", 18" and 19" sizes and offer a new and powerful crash option for players who dig dynamics and value the presence of tone in their accenting. It delivers bright, powerful response boosted by a wide range of frequencies saturate the sound with color.

In September of 1999, right after Virgil's Powerhouse and Shedder sticks, Vater went back to the drawing board to create the ultimate stick for Virgil's supreme power and speed. They came out with the signature Assault Sticks.

According to Vater, once this stick was launched out to the drumming world, the orders for Virgil's Assault Sticks have been "flying out the door". With tons of orders coming in from several drum shops across the world, Virgil's new stick has really set the standard for drummers looking for that extra power in a stick without the useless weight.
Similar to a 2B in grip, Virgil's stick has a beefy shoulder and quick taper to a rounded barrel shaped tip. A great solid-feeling stick for when volume and projection are needed. Hickory model only

Five soldiers of the 158 Provost Company military police put on a concert in the Iraqi city of Basra with the help of Peavey Europe, which donated a Delta Blues 210 guitar amplifier, a Max bass amp, four PVi 100 microphones, and a number of guitar accessories such as leads and stands.The band, which had never played together before, had three days to rehearse and get used to each other and their new gear before they faced their eager public: the British troops stationed at the city. They performed under the name of the Basra City Rollers in a concert aimed at raising money for the Sun newspaper’s Help For Heroes campaign.According to a military spokesman, the gig was a great success. “The concert went down really well with all the guys. They even insisted on two encores,” he said. The money raised by the gig added to the £1,187,132 raised in the Help for Heroes campaign to build a rehabilitation centre in Surrey.Peavey’s Andy Rust said that the company had been glad to help. “It’s the least we can do, really, and if the soldiers enjoyed the gig, then so much the better.”

Drum sales have hit an all time high, according to new statistics from the MIA.Soaring to £41 million this year, drum sales have doubled since 2000, whilst sales of other types of instrument have remained stable. John Booth, of leading drum Manufacturer, Roland UK, commented on the sales boom: “We have seen drum sales increase year on year for the last ten, but this year has been unprecedented – in October, our drum sales eclipsed piano sales for the first time ever.

”Several factors are credited with responsibility for the sales growth, though it would seem in no small part down to the availability of affordable yet high-quality drum kits. Paul McManus, Chief Executive of the MIA noted: “Compared to the 1960’s, drum kits are now of a consistently higher quality and available at a much lower cost.”Improved music provision in schools and a more liberal approach to teaching rock and pop genres as part of the music syllabus may also have had a positive effect on the popularity of drumming, though Chris Wright, Managing Director of DrumWright and Honorary Treasurer of the MIA, is quick to point out that the swell in popularity is not exclusively limited to the younger generation: “The recent trend for one-off reunion performances by stadium rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, as been a real inspiration for the older generation. We’ve seen a lot of older musicians in the shop wishing to try their hand at drumming.”

drum's not dead - all music guide review

2007-12-28T09:54:00.001-08:00

Continuing to explore the noise rock/prog rock fusion they pioneered with They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, Liars return with another concept album, Drum's Not Dead. The idea behind this album is even more abstract than They Were Wrong's conflation of witch trials and pagan rituals: Drum's Not Dead revolves around the yin-yang relationship of two forces in the creative process, personified as Mt. Heart Attack (who represents stress and self-doubt) and Drum (the embodiment of creative energy and productivity).

While this is an intriguing concept, unfortunately the actual music doesn't always live up to it. Drum's Not Dead borrows pages from the urban-pagan, atmospherically noisy playbooks of both Black Dice and Animal Collective, although the album isn't as evocative as the former band's work nor as cuddly-weird as the latter's.

Nothing here is nearly as abrasive, or immediate, as "There's Always Room on the Broom" -- throughout the album, Liars stay away from their comfort zone of dynamic noise-rock. This "quiet is the new loud" philosophy is admirable, but too often, Drum's Not Dead sounds oddly blurred and subdued. Interestingly enough for an album that uses mountains as a motif, its terrain is actually more like a valley, starting and ending with powerful tracks and dipping sharply in the middle. Drum's Not Dead begins with "Be Quiet Mt. Heart Attack," which is not only the album's best track, but one of the finest things Liars have ever done.

With dark, shimmering guitars that recall EVOL-era Sonic Youth and minimal but monumental drumming, it's full of beauty and brooding that is immediately exploded by the growling drones and heavy, tribal polythrhythms of "Let's Not Wrestle Mt. Heart Attack," which conjures up images of fiery, twirling drumsticks and sinister rites.

It's tempting to say that Drum's Not Dead gets its point across in just the first two tracks, but that would ignore how well "To Hold You, Drum" mixes noise and whispery negative space and sets up the album's surprisingly sweet, hopeful resolution, "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack," which also ranks among the band's finest work. They Were Wrong, So We Drowned might have been too densely packed with ideas and sounds, but Drum's Not Dead errs in the opposite direction: too many tracks feel like variations on the album's themes that don't really go anywhere. Though there are many moments of primal energy (the eerie, hypnotic taunting of "Hold You Drum," "Drum and the Uncomfortable Can"'s climactic doom) and beauty (the flowing water and brooding melody on "The Wrong Coat for You Mt. Heart Attack," "A Visit from Drum"'s expansive guitars and emotional vulnerability), they never quite jell into something that goes beyond being momentarily impressive.

Drum's Not Dead is undeniably interesting, but somehow unsatisfying; arguably the best thing about it is how it shows Liars are willing to keep pushing themselves into unknown creative territory, even if the results aren't always consistently great. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Tommy Lee TommyLand Book Review

Meet Tommy Lee TOMMYLAND a fun read! Well yes I stood in line today to get a signed copy of his new book, TOMMYLAND. This is a fun read, Tommy's tell all, and he does. Some great photos and some down to earth discussion and thoughts on the life and good times of Tommy Lee. By the look of the line I thought of the tune "1985" one time hot ladies out ranked the men. The woman looked like Mothers reliving 1985. This book should do well, but Tommy should look to appear on Oprah. Looks like this may be his biggest fan base. Do you want to order a copy? Click on the link below, great stocking stuffer, hmmm another great asset of his.
