Custom skins in action
If you’re on our mailing list you will have received my message last week requesting any photos of your custom skins from customskins.co.uk in the wild! If you’re not on our mailing list then quit playing hard to get and join using the box thingy in the right hand panel. Anyway, the response was brilliant.…

Fantasy Festival
Now that the new year celebrations are a distant memory and the year 2k9 is moving faster than a Keith Moon solo, everyone is starting to talk festival season. Who will be headlining Glasto? Can I afford to go to Reading as well? At which band do I throw my biggest bottle of piss at…

Drum Clobber in ’09
The NAMM show in Anaheim, California is an annual January fixture that allows all the major music manufactures to peddle their tat… sorry, launch their state of the art new gadgets, gizmos and the like. So, what does 2009 have in store for us tub-thumpers? What will be the new thing? Over the past few…

NAMM 2009 Report
When you’re told you’re being sent to The NAMM Show you have 2 choices…do you tell people that you’re ‘off to NAMM’ or do you say ‘I’m off to Hollywood baby!’? Personally I tend to choose the second as it makes my friends jealous and generally makes me sound cool! However…I know from experience working…

J’aime la musique + drumming
Once in a while, us musicians get a nice gig come in that (almost!) makes up for some of the crappy ones. You know, the ones where no-one shows up, the PA breaks down, the van breaks down and the bass players girlfriend breaks down when she hears how much you did (or didn’t) make!…

About time?
Welcome to the customskins.co.uk blog! After 4 years we've decided it's about time we started writing about general goings on at Customskins HQ, along with other drumming/music related stuff, and probably a fair bit of unrelated nonsense as well. To ensure balanced and comprehensive coverage we've enlisted the help of a Richmond, our 'gigging drummer',…
