 Increasingly rock drummers are finding ways to incorporate LP percussion instruments in their often massive set ups. LP has long been at the cutting edge of this phenomenon and we pledge to stay there with the introduction of the Joey Castillo Drum Kit Pack (900JC).
In collaboration with Joey, renowned drummer with Queens of the Stone Age, we've stocked this package with the durable, projecting sounds we know every rock drummer will reach for first. But we didn't want them reaching too far and toppling from the throne, so we devised the perfect mount to integrate this percussion ensemble with the drumset.
First we have the patented LP1207 Jam Block. It would be an understatement to say that this piercing modern take on the classic wood block has been a massive success in percussion circles. Not only will it recreate clave or woodblock tones, drive a piercing wedge through any amplified setting (or emulate a snare drum cross stick!), but, due to its tough exclusive Jenigor plastic construction, it will take beatings with heavy sticks, night after night, the likes of which would shatter an old school woodblock in short order.
Then we've included the patented LP160 Cyclops Tambourine. If you've grasped one of these you won't forget it: The Cyclops has rounded edges are especially amenable for playing with drumsticks, while LP nickel-plated steel alloy jingles assure instant cut. Equally effective with hands or sticks, the Cyclops is mountable on any 3/8" diameter rod.
Which brings us to the Gibraltar SC-AM1 Mounting Bracket (also included), which will grasp blocks and bells and secure them to any rod or stand between 3/8" and 1-1/8" in diameter. A drummer like Joey Castillo can hit hard but they will not budge.
And here's a nice extra: The Drum Pack comes with Queens of the Stone Age's hit single "Little Sister". The price of the entire package would list individually at well over $100 but LP offers it for $89, a great value.
