Bike Week is Here!

Greetings Blistur Nation! 2012 is shaping up nicely with some primo shows already on the books, starting with a slew of shows at Daytona Bike Week 2012. Click on the “Shows” link for showtimes at the Cabbage Patch (www.cabbagepatchbar.com) throughout this year’s event. Last year we made a lot of new fans and are already hearing from some of them who are returning to bang their heads with us after a long two wheeled journey from locales near and far.

Be sure to take advantage of our limited time pre-order on the new Blistur shirts for ladies and men. The designs are just awesome and for $10 each with free shipping until March 1st – it is a great deal. After March 1st, the price will be $15 each and $3.00 shipping for online orders. But we are sure you would rather show up to Daytona wearing your radical new shirts than to wait and pay more. Visit our store at blistur.com/store and order with your paypal account or credit/debit card. At the very least – take a look at how great the new shirts look.

We are also expecting to have our new concert DVD on hand for sale starting March 9th. We will offer combination deals on merchandise for those who plan on buying a shirt, a CD and a DVD – or some combination thereof. The new DVD will feature about 2 hours of footage including the concert, backstage footage and video from our shows at Guantanimo Bay, Cuba, etc. etc. Tons of stuff for your viewing pleasure!

Rock HARD and ride safe everyone!

I wouldn’t even call myself a master – but more like a journeyman, who has spent so much time experimenting and evaluating results that I got better at it naturally. Especially what I think is the most overlooked element of the drumkit: The toms. I’ll get to the kick drum and snare later. The toms are first and can make you a better drummer if you get a better sound. Continue reading
