"Amedia Cymbals produce beautifully crafted cymbals which enable me to express myself as a musician. Each one of their cymbals is a pure act of craftsmanship, they have never let me down whether I am touring or in the studio. Their range is extensive and this enables me to pick from a vast array of cymbals to suit that particular requirement."
"Balbex drumsticks are simply the best feeling sticks I have used. They are consistent, they are well balanced and they are extremely durable. I need all of those things whether I'm on the road or in the studio. They allow me to express myself as a musician fully confident that I won't be let down by my tools."
