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.
