Sweetwater Gearfest was absolutely wild! If you haven’t watched the vlog, get some popcorn, get comfortable, and go check it out, lol! I was able to connect with some incredible brands, meet a bunch of awesome YouTuber/drummers, hang out with my friends, and spend some time with my friends from Sweetwater.

I want to share a few random things with you guys on this newsletter from Sweetwater that I think are super cool.

1. Spoiler alert - I connected with PreSonus and am getting a new interface, more specifically the PreSonus StudioLive 16R 16-channel Rackmount Digital Mixer

I got a chance to talk to the PreSonus guys about this interface and I think it’s going to check all the boxes for me. It records 16 channels, has an iPad app so you can monitor things, which is great if you work alone, and so much more.

2. the Tama True Touch Training AAD Snare Pad - 10-inch

This is one of the coolest practice pad snares I’ve ever seen.

• It has a rim which is so satisfying because you can actually play rim shots on a practice kit.

• It’s got ball bearings inside of it to give you a little snare sound without being loud

• The tension is tunable so you can adjust to make it feel as close to any snare you want.

They’ve got a full practice kit that’s awesome, but I thought the snare pad was especially cool.

3. This livestream interface from PreSonus

You can mix off of your personal monitoring device, see the levels of your input, do some mixing in the interface, and go out into your phone (you’ll need a power splitter so it can be powered via usb and plug into your iPhone). Pretty sick device, and what I’ll be using to do my livestream mixes from now on. This is also a great interface for streamers.

4. The Tama Starclassic Performer in Molten Steel Blue Burst

Honestly, the pictures don’t do this thing justice… It’s just such a nice kit, and sounds great as well!

5. The Zildjian Reflexx Conditioning Pad - 6 inch

I know what you’re thinking, that’s a lot of money for a practice pad. I get it. But I played this thing at Gearfest and was shocked. It’s hard to explain the response other than it feels like a practice pad, but it makes you WOOOORK. I haven’t gotten one yet, but I’m about to buy one myself, because this thing will give you a workout. definitely worth the investment if you need to work on your pad work a little more.

I know this is such a random list lol, and I’ll probably do another post from Gearfest when I’m able to process everything, but I wanted to let y’all know about the snare giveaway ASAP!

The winner (who must live in the USA to win) will be drawn on August 1st! Thanks for supporting my YouTube channel, that’s the reason I get to do cool stuff like give away a $450 snare!

If you want to support my channel, the best thing you can do is use my Sweetwater links! The cool thing is, even if you don’t buy the exact product I’m linking, if you click on my link and shop around and buy something, I still get credit for it because I’m the one that sent you to Sweetwater! So think about me next time you shop! It doesn’t cost you any more, but helps me out a lot!
