Drum Workshop (DW) has launched its Limited Edition Collector’s Series 50th Anniversary drum set. Inspired by John Good’s memories of growing up in Northern Italy, the DW Collector’s Series 50th Anniversary Limited Edition six-piece drum set features a core of persimmon, a hard tone wood similar to purpleheart that produces thick attack and projection, combined with spruce that boosts warmth and tonality. These 10-ply HVLT shells, handcrafted in DW’s California custom shop, feature an outer veneer of quilted maple, inlaid with a rosewood and maple 50th anniversary badge and band. The drums are finished in a burnt toast burst lacquer and fitted with antique gold hardware.
Breedlove Guitars has released its Organic Pro Collection. The guitars blend sustainability and accessibility with a solid wood guitar for the professional musician at an accessible price point. With the new Pro Collection, Breedlove built upon the features of its original Organic guitars. The updated Organic Pro Collection features Breedlove’s Cascade Bracing, which allows all its affordable production guitars to achieve consistent target frequencies resulting from the R&D process of sound optimization. The new guitars also include Fishman Flex Plus-T electronics.
