Aiming to seek, support and celebrate the impact of female drummers on contemporary music and the worldwide drumming community, leading drum equipment manufacturers Crush, TRX, Vater, Evans and SKB, along with major drum media companies including Drum!, Tom Tom Magazine: A Magazine About Female Drummers, Alfred Music, Drum Channel and the Enter Music Network, are joining together to sponsor “Hit Like A Girl 2012”, the first ever drumming contest for girls and women.
Expanding on the successful launch of its ICON Series in 2010, the TRX Cymbal Co. is proud to announce the introduction of the DARK ICON micro-series. Available in a limited range of sizes and types, the new cymbals are characterized by a heavily-hammered, natural playing surface with a lathed, brilliantly finished underside. The line is further distinguished by its extra thin weight— all of which combine to create an extremely deep, dark, vintage tone, lightning-fast response and unconventional, two-tone appearance. In addition, each DARK ICON cymbal includes an innovative series of small holes at strategic locations to facilitate the installation of rivets, jingles and other increasingly popular sound-modifiers and effects.
DARK ICONS are available in 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23˝ models and 13, 14 and 15˝ matched Hi-Hats. Jingles, rivets and other sound modifiers will be released at a later date.
