The TRX Cymbal Co. is proud to announce that leading Gospel/R&B drummers Joey Oscar, Aaron Smith, Jovan Dawkins and Rischard Jenkins are now playing TRX Cymbals exclusively. These artists join top TRX endorsers Jamal Moore, Eddie Heyward and Will Parker to expand the company's presence and support for the emerging, highly-influential "urban" drumming community.

Two of the most respected young drummers on the Gospel music scene, Joey Oscar and Jovan Dawkins will be appearing in a series of events at drum shops and churches around the country, including the upcoming "WoodStick Big Beat" in Kirkland, Washington on November 6, 2011. Aaron "Stix" Smith is an original member of the Flight Drum Tour while Rischard Jenkins is on the road with R&B artist Anthony Hamilton and recently completed the Budweiser SuperFest summer tour in conjunction with Jill Scott and Mint Condition.

The TRX Cymbal Co. has announced that a selection of its handcrafted cymbals is now available at Studio Instrument Rentals (SIR) in Los Angeles. SIR is America's original backline company and continues to be the industry leader in all phases of the entertainment business—providing innovative solutions for artists and their music since 1967. With locations in more than a dozen major entertainment markets nationwide, Studio Instrument Rentals is the largest, best equipped, and most respected backline, audio, rehearsal and production support service in the country.

“Having TRX at SIR is both an honor and an opportunity,” says TRX president David Levine. “SIR’s reputation among professional musicians is legendary so, for a young company like ours, it’s like being called up to play in the big leagues. Working with SIR will allow us to provide a higher level of backline support for our growing roster of endorsers while also giving our cymbals greater exposure to drummers and the entire music industry.”
