Rim Risers provide increased height, giving better grip on the stick and greater player comfort. A huge impact on cross-stick or rim shot playing styles, without interfering with standard stick snare drum playing styles.

They come with a full fitting kit and instructions. RimRisers can be quickly fitted or removed and require no permanent modifications to the snare drum.

The RimRisers are available from playrecord.net in both the Black and Chrome finish.

Products include bass drum pedals, standard and pro versions both with a single or double pedal. Also a large variety of stands including cymbal, snare and hi-hat stands all available in their top end heavy duty range down to the lightweight range.

Also now available are the Bigdog drum thrones, again, from the budget up to the luxury versions.

One of our favourite Bigdog products is the Bigdog Bass Drum Double Pedal (PRO).
This, in our opinion, is up there with the likes of the Iron Cobra double bass drum pedal and it features the cool unique Bigdog blue finish footplate. Besides the cool look and great quality, the Bigdog Bass Drum Double Pedal (PRO) is also very affordable in comparison to the likes of the Iron Cobra.

All the Bigdog hardware is now available to buy from playrecord.net, many of which with a special introductory price for a short period of time which can be viewed in the special offers section of our website.

All the accessories will be available in the upcoming weeks so keep coming back to see the new lines being added to our catalogue. To view all our Bigdog range please click here

Carey started his love with the drums when at the age of ten (yes, 10!) he joined a school band and started the taking private snare drum lessons. His natural progression on to full kit lessons started only two years after age twelve.
As Danny hit high school in Paola, Kansas, he started to learn the intricacies of jazz drumming under the wing of a new teacher. He gained experience on the Kansas jazz scene even whilst going through his college years.

Of course Carey has now had a full music career playing with many artists/bands, but he’s probably best known for his amazing work with uber-tour band Tool.

Like Thomas Lang, Danny uses Sonor drums. Beech shells are used with inner and outer makassar ebony veneers – 1″ thick on 8″ tom and progressively thinner as the drums get larger. Bass drums are made out of rosewood and about 3/8″ thick. This is the kit that Carey has been using on Tools “10,000 Days” album and latest tour.

Danny also has a secret weapon, another kit made from recycled cast bronze Paiste cymbals (3/16″ thick and same dimensions as the Sonor). This kit has only been used for American legs of Tools tour as it weighs so much, but don’t despair British Tool fans because this kit was used to record ‘Jambi’ from the latest 10,000 days album, so dig it out and listen to how it sounds …; )

Thomas Lang has leant his expertise to Meinl Cymbals, Remo and Sonor Drums. Over his professional years he has also managed to feature on about 250 albums, countless jingles, movie tracks and singles.

Lang currently endorses Sonor drums and Meinl cymbals, and uses a Sonor X-Ray kit that was designed by himself and a Sonor Delite kit when performing live. Thomas has also had the privilege to design his own Meinl cymbals,a Synthetik Crash, Kompressor Crash, Kinetik Crash, Signal Crash/Klub Ride, and Filter Chinas. All of these designer cymbals are available in even sizes between 8″ and 16″.

Lang also uses Roland electronics, and he certainly knows how to make the best of Roland’s electronic drums. Using a selection of brains and a multitude of pads and pedals, he is able to more-or-less mimic his full size acoustic kit and deliver a stunning performance.
