DTX Drums for Everyone – Tuesday October 18th, 2011 6-8pm

Columbus Percussion will be having Tom Griffin in the store from 6-8pm on Tuesday October 18th. Do you have a question about a DTX kit you have? Want some answers before you purchase a kit? Tom will be here to answer all your questions, demo product features and offer his expertise on everything Yamaha DTX.

With the development of the new DTX-PAD, Yamaha’s electronic drums have never felt better.  And DTX drums have features every drummer can use.  From the practice room to the stage and in the studio, Yamaha DTX series of electronic drums truly has something for everyone.

Yamaha Product Manager Tom Griffin will be on hand to present the DTX lineup and discuss today’s methods of teaching, performing and recording with electronic drums.  Come ask questions and test drive the revolutionary new DTX-PADS featuring a Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) head for superior feel and response.

Tom Griffin began consulting for Yamaha Music Production in 1999, and came on board in 2006 as a Drum Product Specialist.  He has since evolved into a Technical Sales Specialist with a specialty in Electronic Percussion.  His passion for integrating the highest technology with the primitive form of drumming makes him well qualified to demonstrate the merits of Yamaha’s DTX Series of Electronic Drum Systems.

An early adopter of midi and electronic percussion, Tom studied at HARTT School of Music where he did his senior thesis on “MIDI and the Modern Musician”.  Eventually building a project studio, Tom began recording and producing local bands.  He has worked with Gold and Platinum producer Dennis Bell, producing and engineering several recordings for Bell’s GuavaJamm Entertainment record label.

These days Tom enjoys pushing the musical limits of what a drummer is “supposed to do” with a pair of sticks and a set of electronic drums.  He can switch from laying down a groove, to playing the bass line, chords and melodies all without missing a beat.  His electronic drum demonstrations are sure to inspire those in attendance.
