Ian is thrilled with his decision to join BDC. “In recent years, the British Drum Co. brand has been grabbing my attention more and more. I’ve seen and heard some amazing things about these drums and at the start of our new album writing sessions, I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about. I visited the factory and was blown away by the culture and attitude to the craft of drum making that Keith has instilled there. The drums that BDC have made for me are out of this world and are sounding great in the studio. I cannot wait to get out on tour and bring these drums to life!”

Keith Keough, CEO of British Drum Co. is delighted that Ian has chosen to join the BDC artist family. Keith explains, “I would like to welcome Ian to the BDC artist family. Ian is a world-class drummer with an enviable reputation amongst musicians worldwide and it is fantastic to see him playing a British Drum Co. drum kit.”

British Drum Co. Managing Director, Al Murray, added, “I have seen Marillion play many, many times but to now be in a position to say that Ian is playing a British Drum Co. drum kit makes me incredibly proud. What can I say – he’s a drumming Legend playing a drumming Legend!”

British Drum Co Announces Launch of Super 7 Snare Drum

The Super 7 really is quite a special drum. The inner shell is handcrafted from sumptuous Purpleheart veneers with an outer finished in high-gloss lacquered Fiddleback Sycamore. The 13” x 7” size offers drummers a higher pitch without sacrificing the “body” of the drum’s tone. The inclusion of no less than four vents adds sensitivity and increases the volume – this is a loud drum!

Handbuilt in the UK, the Super 7 is a 13” x 7”, 10-ply shell with 45º bearing edges, constructed using our unique cold press moulding process to create a shell with exceptional structural and tonal integrity. The Super 7 is a stunning snare drum that displays a bespoke designed namebadge accented with Purpleheart veneer, complementing the matching veneer featured in the B badge.

The Super 7 is extremely versatile, offering a wide range of playable tones, from bright, cutting backbeats, through to warm and subtle delicate grace notes. Perfect for the studio, but equally at home performing on stage, the Super 7 is a very special snare drum that looks as good as it sounds – both on the inside as well as the outside. Try the new Super 7 for yourself – we’re sure you will be as happy with the results as we are!

Latin Percussion’s Wood Tapa: The Ultimate Snare Drum Hack

Latin Percussion (LP) launches the highly-versatile Wood Tapa. It’s a new and innovative way to retrofit any existing snare drum with a cajon-like top and textured top surface that can be played with the hands, brushes or other soft implements.

The revolutionary LP Wood Tapa instantly transforms most 14” snare drums into a super sensitive, snare cajon with an authentic, woodsy cajon tonality. Simply replace the batter side drum head and counter hoop with the LP Tapa using existing tension rods, and the transformation is complete!  Rounded edges offer ultimate comfort when playing with hands as part of hybrid percussion or acoustic drum set ups.

The Wood Tapa is constructed from Baltic Birch and designed to fit most 14” snare drums and available in 8-lug (LP2414-08) or 10-lug (LP2414-10) options.

Drummers and percussionists are always looking for new and different sounds. The Wood Tapa gives snare drums an alternative sound and widens the instrument’s range of playing possibilities.

LP Cajon Designer Josh Trask comments, “This is the perfect way for drumset players to realize that authentic cajon sound as part of their kit.  And the Tapa sounds different on a range of snare drums, so players can experiment with creating their own signature sound using their favorite drums.”
