Vic Firth Lite Stix

Can you say cool? The new Vic Firth Lite Stix rock! Made from real, high-quality drumsticks, they emit 7 different colors from the tip of the drumstick and you don’t need batteries! You simply charge them by plugging into a USB port in the butt of the stick.

Drum Major Suspended for Winking at the President

You can get suspended for things like that? Geesh, I didn’t know that! Apparently John Coleman didn’t either, or he just chose to not care. During a recent inauguration parade, John waved and winked at the president when they went by.  Protocol dictates that it’s a military parade and therefore this sort of thing is considered out of line. Well, Coleman quit the band for good so I guess he won’t have to worry about it anymore.

Whether you call it OCD, OCDP, Orange County Drum and Percussion, or “That strange bunch of guys over on the west coast that make those cool-looking drumsets.”, you can’t deny the creativity of their artwork. This is one of my favorites from Orange County Drums:
