FP7

To be entirely frank, I’ve never been a fan of prepackaged drum mics. While convenient, these usually take a one-size-fits-all approach, often with too many compromises over the à la carte style of selecting mics one at a time. That said, I’ve been a fan of Audix vocal and instrument mics and have been using its D4/D6/i5 drum mics for some time with great results. So when Audix announced the FP7, a mid-priced ($479), seven-piece drum mic package, I was curious, especially considering it’s about half the $900 street cost of the company’s high-end DP7 package....

Sometimes drum microphone packs are simply a group of existing products packaged with a case, which can be a cool way to get several decent mics at a good price. But other times the packs are rebranded inexpensive transducers that are typically decent for the money and will do until you can afford something better. I usually recommend that you find solid individual models that will give you the results you want for the long term and that you buy only as many as you can afford, adding more along the way. Audix has totally redesigned its Fusion series drum microphones, which are available singly and in packs. These aren’t bundles of existing top-line mics (which are also available in packs); they’re entirely new models. They were designed by the same wizard who came up with the company’s popular D6, i-5, and SCX25A, with component manufacturing handled overseas and assembly and testing done back here.

Two Old Hippies would like to welcome renowned rock icon & punk rock Pioneer Patti Smith to the family. The "Godmother of Punk", widely known for her "Because the Night", was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 12th, 2007.

It's all about the music. That's what any gifted musician will tell you. Which is why they won't just play their music on any guitar. In pursuit of the sound of perfection, Bedell Guitars® has introduced a new premium line - the Award Series - to its growing family.

Positioned as a top-of-the-line guitar for discriminating performers, the Award Series features hand-selected premium grade AAA wood, exquisite mother-of-pearl detailing and delivers superb tone with unmatched playability. The series comes in six models - three dreadnoughts, two orchestras and one parlor - and has a Fishman undersaddle pickup to cut mids while boosting treble and bass.

As another exciting option within its Performance Series, Bedell Guitars® has introduced the Monitor Series featuring an auxiliary rosewood-trimmed sound port on the treble upper bout to help performers hear and feel every note.

"Just about everyone who plays an acoustic guitar finds themselves angling their instrument upward from time to time to hear its true sound," explained Tom Bedell, designer and creator of Bedell Guitars, a division of Two Old Hippies™. "By adding the auxiliary sound port, the performer can better monitor what they're playing because the sound is directed upward precisely into their ears."

When the Great Divide Campfire Series was first introduced, people noticed. While most guitars in its price range are fully made of laminates, the Campfire models boast solid spruce or solid cedar tops for a rich, distinctive sound. With a sharp increase in popularity and demand, Great Divide has announced an expansion of the Campfire Series to include five new models:  two dreadnoughts and one each of a jumbo, parlor, and student (three-quarter size concert body) style.

For a growing brand like Bedell Guitars®, it's all about connections to spread the word. That's why Bedell is proud to announce the addition of industry veteran Lou Vito as Artist Relations Representative, a move that shows the brand's deep commitment to strengthening ties to pros as well as everyday consumers.

Vito's twelve-year career includes stints with Gibson Guitars and Fender Music prior to starting his own independent artist relations firm. "We're so excited to have Lou on board," commented Tom Bedell, designer and creator of Bedell Guitars, a division of Two Old Hippies. "We feel we've taken all the steps to perfect a premium brand of guitars, and Lou brings the final part of the equation by getting well-known artists in the same room as our instruments so they can see and hear the difference."
