Natal Drums recently unveiled their new Pro-Series hardware, featuring a range of brand-new for 2020 pedals and stands.
With greater control via an improved footboard and floating spring system, Natal’s new Pro Series bass drum pedals now offers players greater stability courtesy of a new steel base plate and amplified precision and speed. Available as either single or double, the UK designed pedals feature smooth & fast cams, self-levelling hoop clamps, non-slip footplates and a steel driveshaft.
In addition to the Natal’s latest pedal offering, the snare stands feature large rubber feet for better grip and stability along with tapered points of the cradle to reduce contact with the snare, allowing it to resonate more freely. The new snare stand can now also be set lower, with a new leg span and lower bottom tube.
The Pro Series Hi-Hat Stand is designed with player comfort in mind. Featuring a flexible footplate engraved with the Natal logo for extra grip (which can be easily positioned using a drum key adjustment), the double-braced stand also features non-slip rubber feet and full compliment of memory locks.
Finally, a smoother cymbal tilter has been used on the Pro Series boom stand for more precise positioning, allowing greater control, as well as disappearing boom arm for greater set-up options.
All of the stands are lighter in weight than Natal’s previous ranges thanks to reduced tube sizes (except for the snare stand which features reduced-size tubing on the base section only). Prices for the new range (retail) are…
- NAT-SNAR-S (Snare): £99.00
- NAT-HHAT-S (Hi-Hat): £109.00
- NAT-BOOM-S (Boom Cymbal Stand): £89.00
- NAT-SPED-P (Single Pedal): £99.00
- NAT-DPED-P (Double Pedal): £235.00

SONOR go on to say: “Benny Greb is one of the most versatile and busiest members of the SONOR family – be it in a band setting or with his various solo projects. His signature style on the kit, his deep technical knowledge and his winning personality always impress. No wonder that Benny´s clinics and drum camps, which he holds all over the world, are always fully booked. That’s why SONOR is proud to release a second signature snare drum series in close cooperation with this outstanding artist.”
Crown Control Gels can be used on all drumheads, cymbals, and other hand percussion instruments that that require overtone dampening. Ideal for fatter and more controlled tones on toms and snare drums, the gels can be cut to a desired size and the non-toxic formula can be washed with soap and water to reactivate surface adhesion properties. Crown Control Gels are packaged in a stick bag friendly container and include 8 pieces.
