The launch of Gibraltar’s Extreme Hardware Makeover web series featured Opus Dai drummer Jagger Gonzales. In episode one Jagger gets his drum rack, held together by duct tape and butter knives, completely over-hauled by the Gibraltar Hardware experts. On their next tour Jagger road tested the set up in numerous clubs. In this interview at the Troubadour in Los Angeles he fills us in on how the drum rack is performing so far. The next test was in the studio where Opus Dai is recording their latest CD. Here is Jagger’s follow up from his recent recording efforts.
Hey guys,
Hope you are well, just thought I’d share some photos from the recent recording session at Bay7. It went extremely well! This was the first time I’ve used the rack in a recording session and it was an ease to work with!
We were swapping out drums and cymbals, going from a 22””kick to a 24”, 15” hats to 13”, swapping out various snares….
All it took was a few turns of the screw on a clamp and the hardware adjusted in a second allowing total comfort and playability to any combination of changes. It was effortless and fast. As a result we were able to track 5 songs in just 1 and a half day! I totally think that was possible because we didn’t have to fuss with any hardware during studio time.
So, the rack performed exceedingly well yet again! Will keep you posted on the release date. We are looking at tracking drums for the 2nd half of the new material in July…
Just wanted to say thanx again!
