Hannes Grossmann is a monster player who truly deserves all the recognition he can get. If you’re lucky enough to live near any of their upcoming tour dates, you will find him out on tour again in May with Erik Rutan and Hate Eternal! We caught him last time around, filling in on short notice, and it was absolutely amazing.

This issue also has a couple very cool Off-Beat Interviews with Mike St. Jean of Regal/DTP, and Michelangelo Carubba of Turkuaz, as we ll as a few other great interviews.

Issue 29 also contains a couple great product reviews! Elliot Hoffman of [Car Bomb] took a quick look at the Eyal Levi Expansion Pack by Drum Forge. We had Tomasz Pilasiewicz of Roads End (Ex: Gorgasm) take a look at the new EZtrigger App by Christian Lawrence of Dead By Wednesday, and RVP takes a quick look at a custom snare drum from Woods Custom Drums. And don’t miss the short piece introducing the new “Trigger-All,” from Axis Percussion on pages 12 & 13!

Lastly, Issue 29 gives you an inside look at some of our favorite gear from Winter NAMM 2016, as well as Bashfest, where Sick Drummer Magazine filmed three nights of performances paying tribute to John Bonham, Neil Peart and Randy Rhoads. Our footage includes drummers like: Jason Bittner, Dave Lombardo, Chad Smith, Mike Terrana, Brian Tichy, and many more.
