GURU DRUMWORKS These are the best drums! Guru Drumworks make some of the most beautiful
well crafted and fantastic sounding solid wood drums you will ever play! Steam bent or stave.
"When I first saw Dean's Guru drums I thought they were the best I'd seen, he seemed to have stripped everything down to what a pure wooden drum should be but still maintained a very positive character and slight quirkiness. I tried a Zebrano kit and his custom snares and the sound was just as amazing as the construction and finish. As well as the solid wood stave drums like my Zebrano kit, the solid steam bent drums also sound fantastic. The amazing thing with Guru is that Dean keeps coming out with new designs and finishes that make you go "wow" not just when you see them but when you play them too".
My Guru set-up is a solid wood Zebrano Kit; 14" x 6" snare, 20" x 20" bass, 10" x 9", 12" x 10", 16" x 16" toms and a 12" x 8" ash and walnut chequered 2nd snare.
Humm Drums Truly custom electronic drums with faultless triggering and unrivaled sensitivity! Plug and play into your favourite Roland sound module! Play like a real kit, sound like anything you want, look amazing! (and yes it is furry...)
CHEQUERPLATE STUFF It looks cool, it sounds amazing! Click above to see me playing Chequerplate Stuff with my kit & listen to a Chequerplate Stuff only percussion solo!
"Not only a brilliant player, teacher and generally nice guy, but also one of my first endorsees. You can see Jon putting the Chequer Snare through its' paces, together with some Chequer Discs and Chequer Blades (filmed at the Jobeky UK Custom Drum Fest 2009).
PROTECTION RACKET CASES I've been stuffing my drums into Pro Racket cases for as long as 'Ive had drums worth protecting and when the drums have gone, the cases have always stayed!
Great Drum Rugs too!
"The latest member of the LCD family is non other than UK drumming great Jon Broberg. Jon keeps a busy schedule of clinics, studio work, and live performances".
I get to play a lot of styles of music, from drum'n'bass and punky beats to funky blues and latin jazz but finding a stick that works well in all situatuions hasn't always been easy. I like a fairly light long stick with a ball tip for fast cymbal work and defined ghost notes.
I love the Los Cabos 3A's which are very quick and really well balanced. I use the White Hickory 3A' s for funk, jazz & blues playing and the Red Hickory 3A's if I'm doing a heavier gig where I'm rocking out & need more volume. The Red Hickory sticks are tough and really takes the edge of the hi hats and rimshots well. If I'm in a very light jazz setting I'd use the Maple 3A's. I get the same perfectly sized stick but in 3 weights! How cool is that!.
