Drum Workshop has added two modern color choices to its range of Performance series drums. In addition to previous sprayed lacquer options, drummers can now choose from new matte lacquer colors: Metallic Charcoal and Gold Mist. Utilizing pure maple shells that are handcrafted at DW’s California Custom Shop, the boutique-inspired line features patented HVX shell technology, True-Pitch Tuning, STM Suspension Tom Mount System, MAG Throw-Off with 3P adjustment and DW Heads by Remo.
Fender has built on its Acoustasonic line with the introduction of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster. Handcrafted in Ensenada, Mexico, the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster is designed to inspire and invoke creativity like its American-made predecessor. With a simplified set of features consisting of a three-way voice selector and one powerful blend knob, the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster is Fender’s most streamlined hybrid model yet. A powerful pickup system designed in collaboration with Fishman allows players to flip seamlessly between big electric tones and iconic acoustic voicings, while the fully hollow, naturally resonant Telecaster body offers rich acoustic warmth when unplugged.
