New Pearl Reference Series Drums

Pearl Drums has just introduced their new line of Reference Series drums.

“Reference Series drums use a combination of task specific bearing edges and 3 time proven woods, Birch, Maple, and African Mahogany. Using Maple as a sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for good reason. Maple provides smooth, well balanced tone that is perfect for a 12″ tom. Subsequently, all Reference Series 12″ toms are composed of 6 plies of Maple. The only single wood shell in the series. Our 10″ and 8″ toms receive 4 plies of Maple with 2 inner plies of Birch for cut and attack. And for maximum response, all 13″ and smaller toms have a rounded 45° bearing edge.”

See the Reference Series online at the Pearl Web site.

Steve Gardiner – Ottawa Sun Article

Success comes calling for local musician

By ANN MARIE McQUEEN, Ottawa Sun

Steve Gardiner has always wanted to make it in the music business. Two years ago, after a tragedy folded his latest band, he all but gave up.

It was then others seemed to start trying for him.

People may best remember Gardiner from bands such as In and Out and Thermocline, but it was an independent solo CD the Cornwall-born singer/guitarist recorded in 2000 that led to his current resurgence.

Custom Snare Drum

Andy Andrews Custom SnareI just finished putting together my first custom snare drum. It’s 6.5″x14″, solid 1.2mm black nickel chrome finish brass shell with brass tube lugs, brass tension rods and maple hoops. The wood hoops on the brass shell sound great, it has a good loud crack and amazing side-stick sound. I’m totally digging it.

I call this the “Andy Andrews Custom,” I’m planning on making a few more some time soon.
