Percussion Giveaway! Win Tycoon Percussion Gear from Modern Drummer
I have been running the GearGiveaway365 Facebook Page for about four months, posting a musical instrument giveaway each day. I have to say I’m disappointed in the number of drum and percussion giveaways out there. I could post three guitar giveaways a day. But drums? Maybe that many in a month. I’m thinking about calling [...]
How Much Difference Does a Snare Drum Head Really Make?
Can a snare drum head really change the tone of your drum in a discernible way? The short answer: yes. If you’ve ever used a dampening ring, or maybe just a piece of duct tape, you know that you can totally change the sound of your snare (mostly overtones) pretty simply.
Gibraltar Outfits Opus Dai Drummer In Extreme Hardware Makeover Videos
I am a fan of Gibraltar drum hardware. You know how you latch on to certain brands when you first start playing music? Gibraltar was one of those brands that I was really into. Of course, sometimes the choices are good and sometimes not (thank God I’m not still playing with with my gold sparkle [...]
New Pearl ePro Electronic Drums – Great Look…Feel…But the Sound?
One of the cooler looking products I’ve seen introduced at NAMM 2010 is the ePro electronic drums from Pearl. They actually look like real drums…what a concept!

Drumming for Peace: Check Out This Great Video from Sudan 365
In recent months there have been some very cool videos on YouTube like this one and this one, where musicians around the world are filmed playing the same song, shining a spotlight on a certain social cause.

Here’s your Saturday summary of this week’s musical instrument giveaways at GearGiveaway365. More on this later, but I’ve just launched two new Facebook pages.

Win Gear from Sweetwater, a ModTone Pedal, & More at GearGiveaway365
Another seven days another seven musical instrument giveaways…wait nine giveaways! I did post a few extra this week. There was a Daisy Rock guitar giveaway that was about to expire, so I doubled up that day. Also, there was a free RICO sax strap giveaway, which is cool, but perhaps not worthy of an entire [...]
