Allow me to introduce you to our 2015 Ludwig Classic Maple in striking Mod Orange. Less is more, and bigger is…well…bigger! 14”x24” kick drum, 9”x13” high tom, and a 16”x16” floor tom. This big, warm and woody sounding beauty is available for all our recording and rehearsal clients, and is available for backline rental. Oh yeah. And we have the matching 6.5”x14” maple snare!

Paul Dorman and his lovely bride, Marla recently stopped by Zapp City for a visit. Years ago, when we were all young and hungry musicians (literally) Paul owned Jolly Ed’s Mr. Deli in Tempe, where he employed countless musicians and fed even more! He also ran Tall Paul Productions and booked and promoted for Chuck Hall, Pistoleros, yours truly and a handful of other Tempe artists. Thanks, Paul, for all you do and have done for all of us knuckleheads over the years, and thanks to you and Marla for your friendship! Cheers!
