Hello all:
Lots of exciting things happening here! First of all, please check the three new snares in the gallery. The steam-bent maple drum is the first of its type for us, and the results are even better than we’d hoped for. Tons of body, a focused, warm tone, and a "throaty" quality make this a very special piece. What do I mean by "throaty", you say? Let me put it this way: when this drum is "dialed in", it has a voice all it's own-so warm and mellow that it could almost be human! All three of the new drums are listed in WebBuys, along with a little red sparkle painted drum which is a re-worked prototype. That baby is 1mm stainless steel, and it absolutely screams at high tunings!
In other news, Huston Drums is proud to be a sponsor of
HOTTFEST again this year. It’s four great nights of music at the Corner Lounge in Knoxville, with an incredible lineup of local and out-of-area bands. We’re in the process of finishing what will be the house kit for all four nights of the show. It’s going to contain loads of special features we’ve never offered before, and we’ll have images up on the site as soon as it’s completed. It’s the first example of what will be a new direction and focus for our company, and all of us at Huston Drums are very excited and optimistic about our future. There’s a ton of new and exciting product offerings on the way, so keep a close watch on the “Newsblog” tab - we’ll keep you informed with frequent updates!
