I’m loving the V-Control Pro iPad app by Neyrinck. This thing allows me to have full access to Pro Tools while tracking behind the drum kit. No more getting up and running to the computer in between takes. I can now adjust my headphone mix, access plug-ins, fire up the transport window and more. Completely changes how I work in the studio…

The Rock Box Limiter by Rock On Audio. (Taken with instagram)

This thing is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to go to an in-ear monitoring system without the expense of going wireless. It’s essentially a hard-wired headphone amp with the ability to pull a mix straight from the board, monitor wedge or studio interface. Plus, it’s a limiter to protect your ears from when your lead singer drops the mic on stage.

Pete, the owner, is a guitarist and happens to be pretty darn cool too. I spoke with him before ordering mine. I was very impressed with the service and quick turn around.

Todd Sucherman Drum Clinic Review

Todd Sucherman Drum Clinic Review:

I recently had the opportunity to attend a local clinic with drummer Todd Sucherman. The clinic was hosted by Greenbrier Percussion and Pearl Drums and drew a room full of fellow drummers. If you don’t who Todd is, here’s a quick intro:

Todd has been playing the drums since he was kid. Over the years, he’s managed to win Modern Drummers reader’s poll for the #1 Rock Drummer, #1 Educational DVD as well as #1 Clinician in DRUM! Magazine. In between all of these number one’s, he’s toured the world with the multi-platinum rock band Styx.
