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.
