In support of Sabian’s APX series of high-decibel cymbals, drummers Ray Luzier of Korn, Chris Pennie of Coheed and Cambria, and Seven Antonopoulos of Opiate for the Masses are going to hit the road for a mini-tour of the United States. The drummers will be demonstrating how the APX cymbals are designed to cut through hard rock and heavy metal music (i.e., you might be needing some ear plugs for this one). Scheduled stops include the following cities:
Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Austin, Texas – Nov. 8
Skip’s Music in Sacramento, Calif. – Nov. 9
Milano Music in Mesa, Ariz. – Nov. 10
Drum Pad in Palatine, Ill. – Nov. 11
Fork’s Drum Closet in Nashville, Tenn. – Nov. 12
Paradiddles in Spartanburg, S.C. – Nov. 13
Sam Ash in New York, N.Y. – Nov. 14
For more info, be sure to check out the “Show No Mercy” tour page. It includes a handful of APX-related goodies.
