Frequently asked questions: Do you give private drum lessons? I have given private drum lessons in the past, but due to my busy touring schedule, I can no longer do this. I can recommend some teachers in the Norfolk area who may be able to assist you: Phil Davison www.phildavison.co.uk Phil, Tim and Kit are personal friends of mine, and come highly recommended. What are the sizes of the drums/cymbals you use with The Oli Brown Band? I use a Premier series kit: 13" x 11" and 15" x 13" toms, a 24" x 18" bass drum, and normally a 14" x 5.5" snare (a Premier Modern Classic or a vintage Ludwig 400). Occasionally I add a 10" x 6" Premier auxiliary snare to the left of my hi-hat. Why do you use Trueline sticks? After years of going through most of the major brands of sticks, I met the UK Trueline distributor at a Billy Ward drum clinic in 2006. He gave me a sample pair of sticks, and I was smitten! They just feel right in my hands, they are durable, and they also have some innovative ideas including the Diamond Grips and Power Grips. I generally use 5B Standard Grips andhave endorsed Trueline since early 2007. Why do you play Premier drums? I have used Premier drums by choice since I was about 10 years old - I had a Premier Royale drum kit as my first "real" kit. I then moved up to the Premier XPK, and had 3 different kits in that range. Their tone, durability and looks were great, and all at a great price too. I then moved on to the Premier Series range of drums which blew me away yet again. Both my current kits are in a gorgeous Red Moon Sparkle, and look awesome under stage lights. They also of course sound fantastic. In April 2008 I became an official Premier endorser.Where can I buy Oli Brown's "Open Road" album? You can buy the album now from Oli's website at www.olibrownband.com and check out the "buy now" page for details. The album is also available in HMV stores, and online from HMV online, Play.com, Zavvi and Amazon, and of course from the band at gigs. The album is also available on iTunes. |
