LP is pleased to celebrate Antonio Sanchez
You have to hand it to Matt
Sorum, the heavy-handed heavy-rocking drummer, whose career includes such
illustrious giants as The Cult, Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, and whose
haunts range from The Viper Room to Madison Square Garden. Matt Sorum is
tasteful, professional, consistent in his blunt attack, and, above all,
powerful—thus his longevity in an industry known for flavors of the month.
To salute this world-class
drummer, LP announces the introduction of a special package allowing all hard
hitting drummers to share in Matt’s unique amalgamation of percussion and
drumset, the LP Matt Sorum Percussion Pack.
To highlight those memorable
GNR lines, Matt would underscore Slash’s burning guitar with a cutting cowbell
pattern. In Velvet Revolver the cowbell enjoys a similar, if somewhat expanded
role. To brighten the mood, Matt goes to an LP tambourine. And when he needs an
exclamation, Matt uses the Jam Block.
That’s precisely what’s to be
found in LP’s Matt Sorum Percussion Pack—and more! First to the bell: It’s one
of those LP’s designer coups, the LP008 Rock Ridge Rider Cowbell, a powerful and
throaty bell voice. Players will instantly recognize its finish, a jet-black
sheen. It’s the one with LP’s specially placed red Jenigor (a brutally tough
synthetic) bar, which augments the bell tone and, critical to the working
drummer, saves greatly on stick shredding. Matt’s choice of tambourines is the
LP179 Cyclops Tambourine in jet black, another incredibly versatile instrument
with power in reserve. The bright jingle sound is as fat as it is cutting due to
the use of special dimpled brass jingles. Finally, the pack includes a real
weapon, the LP 1208-K Stealth Jam Block, a monster in the Jam Block family and
specially engraved with a red foil seal.
Three LP instruments built
rugged and built for the kind of stadium projection that is the stock and trade
of acclaimed drummer Matt Sorum. Yes, we said “and more”: the Sorum Percussion
Pack also includes an LP 472 Mini Everything Rack, a device that’ll lock a
diverse selection of percussion at optimum playing position within the drumset.
That’s quite a collection, featuring the ruggedness and designs preferred by
Matt Sorum. Everything is packed in a re-usable cardboard case with flexible
plastic carrying handle.
