Thanks
to Joe Testa at Yamaha,
we'll be giving away the Yamaha
Anton Fig Signature Snare Drum to one lucky winner!
Another winner will receive the HS-1000
2-leg Hi-Hat stand! We also have a dozen cool black
Yamaha Drums T-shirts for you as well!
About
the drum, Anton writes, "A few years ago Yamaha asked
me if I wanted to have a signature line of snare drum.
This
drum really works. It is very simple: It has a basic snare
mechanism and lugs; the shell is thin - 6 ply maple; the
rims are very strong 19 ply maple.I have been bashing
on the drum at the show for a few years now [in the same
spot] and there is very little sign of wear on the rim.
I
love the sound of it because you can get a deep strong
sound with bottom with a lot of crack on the top. Also
the cross-stick sound is phenomenal. I use a Remo CS batter
head [white coated with black dot on the underside] to
get my sound. It really works well in the studio and for
live.
Kevin
Shirley, the producer, who also mixed 'Know
Where You Go' and 'Anyway
That You Want Me 'for me], uses it all the time -
In fact he insists all his drummers use it [from Aerosmith
to Journey] because it records so well.
I'm
not just raving about it because it is my model - I truly
believe this is a quality drum."

Drum Heads from REMO!!!
Thanks
to Tim Ridgway and the great folks at Remo,
we're giving away the following:
One
(1) ProPack - POWERSTROKE™ 3
The POWERSTROKE™
concept of adding an underlay ring was pioneered by Remo.
The POWERSTROKE™
3 head is a single ply ambassador(tm)-weight head with
an underlay ring at the outer edge of the head to subtly
dampen unwanted over-ring. This design creates a near-perfect
balance of response and tone control which Anton relies
on for his bass heads.
The
Power ProPach is a Clear Powerstroke™
3 head and an Ebony Powerstroke™
3, a 14" Coated Ambassador, and a Muffle strip.

One
(1) Coated AMBASSADOR™
Pack
Anton uses Remo's Coated AMBASSADOR™
heads for his tom-toms. These heads are the worldwide
industry standard batter heads for studio and live applications
because of their tunability, open, bright and resonant
tones.
The
Ambassador Pack is a set of 12-13-14-16" Coated Ambassadors.

Twelve
(12) CONTROL SOUND™
Heads
Introduced in 1968, CONTROLLED SOUND™
heads are single ply ambassador™
-weight heads with a 5 mil thick black or clear dot in
the center of the head. This combination offers a controlled,
centered sound without undesirable "overtones."
These
dual-zone heads have a combination of medium and heavy-duty
drumhead characteristics. The outer area of the head's
playing surface offers a mid-range tone and sensitivity
while the laminated center "dot" eliminates
high frequency overtones and adds durability and tonal
focus to meet the demands of heavier hitters.

36 Pairs of Vic Firth Signature Model Drumsticks!
Thanks
to Marco Soccoli at Vic
Firth, we are giving away 36 pairs of Anton's signature
stick! About the sticks, Anton says, "Vic was my
percussion teacher at the New England Conservatory. He
has a very dynamic personality and makes you want to study
hard for him [and not waste his time]. Besides playing
in the Boston Symphony and teaching, Vic has many other
succesful enterprises - one of them being drumstick manufacturing.
I am very happy with my personal model stick, which is
quite big and great for rock, but there are a large variety
of others - for whatever your playing needs may be. I
am proud to be one of his endorsees." Anton recently
did a RealAudio interview with the folks at Vic Firth;
it includes photos, a bio and more! You can check it out
here!
