Gibraltar welcomes Samantha Maloney to the Team!

Nick — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 19:40:15 +0000

Samantha is currently working with Brother Clyde. She has also performed with Shift, Hole, Motley Crue, Eagle of Death Metal, Peaches, The Crystal Method, and Chelsea Girls.

She chose a Gibraltar rack because of the quality of the brand and she will not need to worry now about cymbal placement. And her drum tech will love it too!

Her advice for aspiring musicians: Learn your rudiments. Learn how to read music. Practice to your favorite album. Wear earplugs!!
