Get a free bass drum pedal from Shine drums. (Strings attached…of course.)
Drum Workshop Snags Big-Name Drummers
Jay-sus, man. Lots of musical drum thrones lately in terms of endorsements. Sonor and Tama are the big losers here as Thomas Lang and Dave Grohl jump ship to sign on with DW. Also joining them in Drum Workshop’s ample, woody bosom are extreme metal master Derek Roddy, Creed stickman Scott Phillips, studio legend John [...]
PDP’s Blackout Snare Drums
PDP, the company that pretty much turned the drum industry on its head by first offering affordable maple-shell drums, has just added some new snares to its line of inexpensive bangables. The Blackout series features, as you likely guessed from its cryptic name, a super slick black-on-black maple lacquered shell. Models are available in the [...]
Steve Moore Makes Gold Blazers and Cover Tunes Cool
Steve mans the drum throne for perhaps the most ridiculous cover band in the history of ridiculous cover bands, Rick K. and the Allnighters, but oh how completely awesome he is: stick tricks and flips, flame-covered Ludwig kit, and even some sweet robot dance moves. He can hang with us here at JamJaw central any [...]
Because Sometimes, Humanity Is Stupid and I Need To Bring It Up
On May 30th in L.A., friends, family, musicians, fans, and countless admirers arrived at the funeral of metal rocker Ronnie James Dio. Even if you weren’t a fan of metal (like myself), you knew who he was, or had at least heard of him. He was one of the biggest voices in metal, and one [...]
Omar Hakim: Man of the Next Hour
Omar Hakim does not seem like an imposing man. Quite the contrary, his pictures seem to show off an office worker, some man pulling a Tom Hanks, trapped in his little world and talking to a false fern tree he’s named Bernard. Nice shirt, a simple striped tie, the only thing different from his appearance [...]
Levon Helm Turns 70, Wants to Help Richie Hayward
Levon Helm, one of the great all-time drummer vocalists, is about to blow out a shit load of candles this Saturday. He turns the big 7-0 on May 26, but he’s hosting a “Midnight Ramble” concert at his studio in Woodstock this weekend. It’s an annual affair for the former Band drummer, though this year [...]
Steven Adler Writes a Book
And it looks like he even found a publisher for his tell-all tome because it’s scheduled to hit shelves on July 27. No word on what Adler dishes in his 304 pages, but we can’t imagine it’s anything particularly mind blowing or bowel loosening. Unless, of course, he got himself some nekkid pics of CR-castmate [...]
Video of John Bonham Replica Drum Set
This is Ludwig’s John Bonham Replica drum kit. It was shot at NAMM 2009 by the staff of JamJaw.net. We had only a minute to film before the Bonzo-worshipping hoard understandably knocked us out of the way to get a look.
Drummers Remember Ronnie James Dio
Metal legend Ronnie James Dio succumbed to stomach cancer on Sunday, and well-deserved tributes and remembrances have been pouring in over the e-wires ever since.
Lars Ulrich posted a genuinely “open” letter indeed to RJD on Metaillica’s website:
Dear Ronnie,
I just got off stage in Zagreb. I was met with the news that you’ve passed on. [...]
