MAPEX
Im thrilled to announce that I now have the support of Mapex Drums.
On my October tour with Pure Reason Revolution and recent sessions I have been enjoying the pleasures of a brand new Mapex Saturn Series Kit - 22 kick, 12 rack tom, 14 and 16 floor toms. This range of drums are unique because each shell is made up of two thin plies of walnut and four thin plies of maple. This combination gives the bass drum an extra-fat bottom end, the floor toms have a nice round punch, and the mounted tom rings deliver a nice warm resonance. For my main snare Ive been using a Mapex Black Panther 14x 6.5. Thank you Mapex!
OCTOBER TOUR SUCCESS
I had a fantastic tour with Pure Reason Revolution in October we had a little trip around Europe supporting Porcupine Tree and performed a couple of headline shows toothis time we enjoyed the sunshine down in Portugal and Spain and then came up to Germany, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg (stopping for a quick-dip in the sea on the way through France). The climax of the trip was a live show in Bonn, Germany that was filmed for legendary German TV show Rock Palast. This will be aired in December and February - www.rockpalast.de
PURE REASON REVOLUTION LONDON SHOW
On 26th November Ill being performing a special show with Pure Reason Revolution at Cargo, London. This show is being filmed for possible bonus material for our forth coming album. Support comes from The Domino State and Matt Tanner (a fellow Reading artist who I hope to be working with very soon).
Matt Tanner; recently picked up by Reading's finest Earth Connection (records). "Carved from a plethora of influences and ever-evolving, his music is subtly acoustic in parts and electronically jagged in others"
Check him out at www.myspace.com/matthewtanner. My favourite track is Real to Surreal Recorder.
The Domino State. You should catch them on a small stage while you can. "In heart-in-lungs showstopper 'Iron Mask', The Domino State have got one of the singles of the year...everyone should be falling over themselves to go see 'em" - The Fly www.myspace.com/thedominostate
