Do musicians want change in the music industry? What can musicians change to have positive impact on the industry? What value does a musician place on the long term health of their hearing?
Nice Rack Canada is a big supporter of the silent backline concept. We believe that we can take the best sonic aspects of studio work into the live gig lexicon by embracing affordable, portable & great sounding Sampling, Modelling & Impulse Response tools.
We strive to help musicians create the best possible experience for their paying customers. We believe that sampled drums are a big part of winning the volume war to help create great sounding gigs and promote long term hearing health.
On Saturday March 14 we invite drummers to visit our Gig Lab to play our Roland TD-50KV kit to get a feel for the instrument and share their feedback, while learning how VDrum could have a positive impact on your gig work & hearing
