Foxy Drummer.com - Custom Sticks at GREAT Prices!

Submitted by King on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 13:13

Showoff Like an Endorsed Drummer Let’s face it: there are hundreds of thousands of drummers in the world and only a few dozen will ever see their name and signature on a drumstick. Large drumsticks corporations can only afford to print custom logo drumsticks for the most popular drummers, leaving the vast majority of drummers out in the mud. However, Foxy Drummer is trying to chance that by offering each and every drummer the opportunity to get their artwork/signature on their own drumsticks – at a price that is less than what they would pay for a typical store bought pair.

Derek Roddy's NEW DVD - Blast Beats Evolved NOW AVAILABLE!

Submitted by King on Tue, 11/17/2009 - 11:33

For all you metal heads out there looking to take your blast beats to the next level - wait no longer! Hudson Music has just released Derek Roddy's NEW DVD: Blast Beats Evolved! “I made this DVD because the development of extreme drumming has never been fully documented or, given its popularity and influence, received the attention and respect it deserves. I wanted to validate this style of drumming—and the drummers who play it—by creating an educational reference that would lead to a better understanding of blast beats and their musical value while standardizing their notation and technical attributes. Simply, my goal was to make the blast beat a ‘household’ beat.” — Derek Roddy
