Grover Custom Featured in DRUM! Magazine

We are featured in the “Meet Your Maker” segment in the May 2013 issue of DRUM! Magazine:
A Couple Things To Look For In May’s DRUM! Magazine
04.16.2013 By Leave a Comment
When you see the new DRUM! Magazine on the shelf at the store or when it shows up to your front door, be sure to check out the NEW BLOOD section. Kenny Howard, a SilverFox Endorser for the last 2 years is the first feature in this section. His YouTube channel and website are filled with videos showing his contagious style, great skills, and remarkable feel. You can immediately see that this guy has huge chops but doesn’t play all of his cards right away, you need to enjoy a full on 7-10 minute drum “solo” video to fully comprehend what he is “sayin”! Kenny endorses the SilverFox 585 and JX models!
Part II of what to check out is further back in the mag…the “MEET YOUR MAKER” section, where DRUM! Mag interviewed our fearless leader and world-class percussionist Neil Grover about our new line of Grover Custom Snare Drums!
Grover Custom Snare Drums have been around as long as we’ve been making drums (roughly 30 years) but now it’s no longer a secret! We have taken our years of experience in drum building and combined that with current technologies and offerings to make drums which sound incredible and now offer the visual varieties which modern drummers are looking for. Since we are working directly with drummers on these drums, there is not a retail mark up, making our drums very affordable and fully customizable!
Be sure to check out GroverCustom.com for options, details, and pricing!

So this week I received an email from our endorser “Down Under” Travis “T-Bone” Dragani. Travis plays with a couple bands – Hills and Trains and Angels of Gung-Ho, has toured with Mike Tramp (White Lion) and also Bruce Kulick (Kiss/Grand Funk Railroad), and also keeps busy as a freelance session player.
Travis says, “Hey man, just a quick hello. Still using the initial order of sticks I received. Honestly, I can’t believe they’ve lasted this long man. I hit pretty f’n hard but they seem to take a beating pretty well….so to say the least, I am stoked!”
So in a nutshell, I’m happy to be part of the Silverfox family and yes, your sticks are awesome!
Cheers,
Travis
Thanks Travis! We’re glad to have you on board! Check out this video of Travis playing with Aussie rock band Maeder! Also check out his YouTube channel for more great videos!

SilverFox endorser Fred Domulot, who has toured and performed with too many jazz artists to list here, will be performing clinics and concerts at the Northwest Florida State College Jazz Festival on Thursday, April 5th. This is a great opportunity to see some jazz greats performing and teaching their particular styles. We just found out that legendary bass player and tubaist extraordinaire Joe Murphy will also be joining in the festivities!!!
Fred is a founding member of The Guffman Trio, a jazz band out of Florida and “regulars” at most jazz festivals in the Southeast and around the Gulf Coast. He is also an adjunct professor at Northwest Florida State College, a songwriter, lyricist, producer, and all around good guy. His professional affiliations include Florida Music Educators Association, Florida Collegiate Music Educators Association, Florida Jazz Educators Association, Jazz Education Network, Film Musicians Secondary Markets Fund, and the American Federation of Musicians Union #389.
Here’s Fred (a big supporter of the SilverFox Sweet Pea)with The Guffman Trio performing at the Pensacola Jazz Festival!
Some More New Artists…

Here we are again adding more talent to our roster!
Check out DeCarlos Davis, an independent drummer, and a drumming force to be reckoned with. DeCarlos helps run the “Drummers United” program which offers positive reinforcement to today’s youth through music. DeCarlos also performs “The Next Level” band and is starting to book master classes and clinics around the southeast USA.
Here’s a quick sampling of what DeCarlos can do!!
Up next (and at the opposite end of the musical spectrum from DeCarlos) is Derek Brito, who is currently touring with metal makers Aura and Vanity. Derek was introduced to us through the Inner Light Agency and Damon Moreno.
Derek smashes drums and cymbal with the only stick he trusts, the SilverFox 5B!!
