WHAT THE?! I have to hear this one. Did you get to try this one out beatboxer?
I wasn't at NAMM but I know the owner/ builder of this drum. His name is George Lawrence. He is the current drummer for the old country rock band Poco. He is a very knowledgable, an incredible drummer, and an all-around nice guy. I've heard this drum and I was surprised by the sound and the weight. It is pretty darn heavy and so is the sound. The sound is fat with a very controlled overtone. It's not too muffled , but far from ringy. It sounds like what I hear on alot of recordings. It would fit in most musicsl situations (CCM, blues,country, jazz, some rock, some gospel). If you want more info on that or Famous Drums (which is owned by George Lawrence as well), call (330)940-DRUM (3786). That's the phone number to his shop. Heck, if any of you are ever going to be in Norhteast Ohio(Cleveland, Akron, Canton), hit me up and I'll be gald to take you by the shop to experience the products firsthand! He has some incredibly innovative products!
