 LP is pleased to present the Mike Portnoy Percussion Kit, a collaboration
with one of the leading drumset artists. Certainly, if international drum polls
are to be believed year after year, then Mike
Portnoy ranks as one of the top
drummers of all time!
When it comes to Mike Portnoy’s Dream Theater music, percussion timbres
are integral. And when it comes to playing like his idols Moon and Bonham,
the vibe would not be complete without cowbell or tambourine.
Enter the LP Mike Portnoy Percussion Kit. It consists of an LP
Rock Ridge Rider Cowbell, based on the Rock Cowbell. It features a red Jenigor plastic
bar across the top edge, secured firmly with specially designed rivets. The
Jenigor bar has a damping effect and, in addition, protects the bell's metal
edge from denting. According to Mike's preferences, the LP Rock Ridge Rider
Cowbell is somewhat higher in pitch than the LP Rock Classic Ridge Rider bell.
It has all the body of the traditional rock bell but with a little more high-end
cut.
The LP Mike Portnoy Percussion Kit also contains another essential instrument
for capturing both the sixties sound and the range of tonalities in prog: the
LP Mountable Cyclops Tambourine. This is the most ergonomically designed, comfortable
and durable tambourine ever produced. Its rounded edges provide extra durability
against sustained drumstick striking, while nickel-plated steel alloy jingles
deliver the bright, projecting sound that defines Brit pop! A patented jingle
pinning system locks the jingles in place. The LP Cyclops Tambourine will last
fully five times longer than other tambourines. The inclusion of LP's forged
eye-bolt assembly enables secure placement on standard 3/8" diameter rods,
or on hi-hat stand pull rods.
Finally, we've included an LP
Mount-All Percussion Bracket, which includes
a black powder-coated Z-rod that is ideal for any 3/8" diameter mountable
percussion.
