Supernova Custom Drums Announces Snare Drum World Tour

The ‘Supernova Custom Drums Snare World Tour’ aims to give their Facebook Friends a chance to try out one of their custom made snare drums in their own homes/practice spaces/gigs, so they are sending one out to complete a very special world tour.

Each person will have 7 days to play the snare before it gets sent on to another drummer. The Snare World Tour will all be coordinated on facebook.com/supernovacustomdrumssnareworldtour, with a map of where the snare drum has traveled to on their website at Supernovadrums.com. All of the rules and the terms and conditions can be seen on both their main website and on the Snare World Tour Facebook page.

Once 1,000 people have joined the Snare World Tour Facebook page, the snare will be let loose! The promotion is live now.

Nice idea and fantastic opportunity to have a new snare in your home ;)

Meinl Announces Dates for 2012 Drum Festival

Meinl is pleased to announce that the dates for their 2012 Meinl Drum Festival are June 23rd and June 24th, 2012. It will again be a two-day event and will be held on Meinl’s own premises in Gutenstetten, Germany.

“We have decided to again host a two-day event after we’ve had such huge success with the format a few years back,” explains Meinl’s festival coordinator, Norbert Saemann. “We have such a wide range of different artists and genres on our roster that it simpley would not be possible to do justice to all of them in just one day. Our festival has never just been an ordinary drum event,” continues Saemann. “No final decisions have been made yet as to which artists will be part of the line up. However, I’m speaking to several artists already about a possible participation. I will announce more news as soon as the line up begins to take shape.”

Mark your calendar: June 23 and 24, 2012 for the eighth Meinl Drum Festival.

Cheers ;)
