Adrian checked out a couple of new cymbal lines from Meinl and discovered some great value sounds. He played a combination of the M-Series and the Soundcaster Custom and Fusion series cymbals. Check out what Adrian thought after having a good play on this often overlooked brand…

Moody Drums are a boutique drum company from Melbourne, Australia that hand craft their instruments and Adrian got to have a play on a Jarrah wood kit by this amazing drum company.
“More wood and less glue means a better tone.”
Years ago drums were made from wood. The wood had a particular sound that it imparted to the drum and it was made by an experienced craftsman skilled in producing a musical instrument with a unique personality.

With mass production, drums are now manufactured in the millions using the same process and materials that doom them to essentially sounding the same. (more…)

Haydn Meggitt is a busy man. He has the pleasure of being behind the drums for some of Australia’s hardest working showbiz people including Ross Wilson, Australian Idol winner Natalie Gauci and Bjorn Again. He took time out from his hectic schedule to sit down with Adrian Violi and talk drums, practicing, touring chops and playing in white silk…

The Inspiration Pack was developed expressly for players of Gospel & Praise and Worship music. Created hand in hand with the Rhythm Alliance (Gorden Campbell, Teddy Campbell, Gerald Heyward, Marvin McQuitty, Aaron Spears, Nisan Stewart), the pack’s unique setup consists of a range of bright, dark, quick, and fast cymbals made from the legendary Zildjian bronze alloy. Adrian headed down to Revolver Drums and put this new offering from Zildjian through it’s paces…

The Inspiration Pack is also the only way to get Zildjian’s brand-new 13″ A Zildjian Pocket HiHats. The thin top and heavy bottom combination are extensivley hammered, unlathed, and in a brilliant finish to give them a quick, bright, and explosive sound that decays quickly.

Included inside:

If you’re in the Melbourne area, head down to Prahran and have a listen to the Zildjian Inspiration Pack cymbals that Adrian was using throughout the review.

The ddrum Dios M series offers thin, all-maple shells, combined with low mass bullet lugs, and 2.3 triple flanged hoops, for a greater resonant tone. There are a number of spray lacquer finishes as well as select sparkles and fades. Adrian is playing an Olive Sparkle finish in this video. (more…)
