In drumming, they say it’s not just about what you play; it’s about what you don’t play. The same can be said for the subtleties of achieving the correct lighting in a room: it’s not about how bright the light is but what it illuminates. Good lighting is just so important when it comes to setting a mood, which makes me wonder what might be set off when you light up this Snare Drum Lamp. Designed by 326 design firm in New Zealand, this attractive lamp prototype is the first of its kind. Tap the drum and it turns on, another tap and it turns off. Sensitivity controls prevent room noise from activating the light. Each drum light is made to order and sells for $850 (most likely not including shipping charges). Delivery times are confirmed when orders are placed. Visit This Link for more details. Shine on!
I wanted to let the dust settle a bit on the news about Travis Barker’s plane crash before posting a little memoriam for legendary session drummer Earl Palmer, who passed away on Friday, September 19th, 2008 after a long illness. He was 83. Palmer played with artists as diverse as Little Richard and Elvis Costello and even recorded drums on the Flintstones’ theme song. Along with Hal Blaine, he is considered to be one of the top session drummers of all time. He will be missed.
