Stanton Moore Covers iDrum

Come and join us in Nashville for this special event co-sponsored by Not so Modern Drummer. 2-4:00 PM

Daniel Glass has completed filming for his next video titled the Century Project. It’s a look at the history of drums and drumming from about the end of the Civil War to the Beatles, featuring great music and a lot of cool vintage gear.

Congrats to Bos’s own Stanton Moore for his cover story in DRUM! Magazine’s April edition now shipping to subscribers.

When he’s not teaching at U of Texas, or working the Austin, Texas music scene, Bos artist Wayne Salzmann tours with guitarist Eric Johnson.

“I’ve got to say…I’m really digging my Bosphorus setup on this tour. I’m getting the sound and feel I need, while still projecting in the 15,000 seat venues. Vintage vibe on a modern pie…..Love you guys!”

Hammer goes deep in an in a lengthy interview. Also includes a stellar review of his new Bosphorus Hammer series cymbal sizes (24″, 21″, 19″ and 20″ china).

Sneak peek:  “The brushes afford us the luxury of finding out who we are. The sticks don’t do that.”

Thank you to Tommy and his staff and to everyone who turned out for this fun event.

Stanton plays live to a track from his most recent CD in a clinic performance at the University of North Texas.

I’d like to begin with a quote from Bob Dylan:
Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you is worth savin’,
Then you better start a swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changing’.

I’m very excited to be here with you, because today we’re going to make a bit of history. It seems appropriate for the 50th anniversary of PASIC that we’re about to be a part of PASIC’s first ever clinic on virtual drumming. Set aside what you know about sampling, the new technology you’re about to experience represents a quantum leap in virtual instruments.  Many of you have played electronic drum sets. Today’s clinic will focus on expanding the usefulness of these instruments by linking them to software, and the impact this is already having on the recording scene.There aren’t many people who make their living as sound designers. John Emrich is one of the best in the world. Most of the drum set sounds in the leading software drum engines are his. John also has an extensive resume as a player, having served as a career drummer in the premiere Navy bands assigned to the White House.  Peter Erskine is no stranger to the digital world either. He’s been involved in several sample libraries over the years. Peter approached me about updating his digital offerings to reflect the recent advances in this technology. I immediately brought John into the project and soon we had finished Virtually Erskine, our sample library of Peter’s select drums, cymbals, and grooves. Some of you know me as the president of Bosphorus cymbals but I want to be clear that we are not presenting Peter as a Bosphorus artist, nor is Virtually Erskine a Bosphorus product. His endorsing companies’ products are respected and his personal sounds are faithfully reproduced in high definition audio.So here we are together at the start of what might be a new era for PASIC. After this presentation I hope you will have a better understanding of what this means to our industry and to you as drummers, because the times, they really are a changing’. Please help me in welcoming to the stage John Emrich and Peter Erskine.
