Welcome to Drumrock.com!

Coming soon: A "mini" review of the 6" Saluda V-Bell that we're giving away for KotQ this quarter. Also - I'll be starting work (finally) on the third installment in our Learning to Record series - focusing solely on drums this installment.

New online: An interview with Queensryche drummer Scott Rockenfield. Awesome drummer and just all around good people. Scott gave DR our first interview four and a half years ago and is always willing to chat. Read it, comment.

As an update to our interview with Ryan Hoyle of Collective Soul/Paul Rodgers fame - I’ve updated both the interview page and Drumrocks link page with links to his site and his studio, Cave Studio. (http://www.ryanhoyle.com/thelab.html) Check out what’s going on there - good stuff from a great drummer! Revisit the interview here: http://www.drumrock.com/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=55 Drumrock Links page here: http://www.drumrock.com/links.html. Well worth the visit.

The April - June Kit of the Quarter winner is Smoke N’ Drums. He wins a LP Stealth Jam Block and a set of RT Chimes. Congratulations. Entries for the July - September Kit of the Quarter are now being accepted here: http://www.drumrock.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9363&PN=1. Rules and requirements for entry can be read here: http://www.drumrock.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9318&PN=1

Current articles and interviews online: A press release from Scott Rockenfield regarding their Bucketdrums line of products. We’re going to be reviewing one of those soon I believe. Also expect a new interview with Scott in the not to distant future. Jason Sutter, currently touring with Chris Cornell, and Jon ’Bermuda Schwartz of Weird Al fame both still have interviews online, great drummers, super people, give them both a read.

Our Saluda Cymbal review is still up as well - I’ll be reviewing another Saluda product soon, and the same product is also part of our July - September KoTQ prize package. Stay tuned!

As always have fun!!!
