Tee Drums are very pleased to announce that Buzzcocks drummer Danny Farrant has joined us an endorsee and kicked off the UK tour with his new 14x7 snare drum.  

 

Buzzcocks have just finished a three week headline tour of the USA which included three dates on the Riot fest. On returning to the UK the band are now into the third week of a UK tour to promote their new album “The Way” Produced by Dave Allen (the cure, Human League) which is soon to be on release on 1,2,3,4, go records.

Last weekend Tee Drums supplied the drum drum kits to the 2 main stages of Lakefest 2014. We had a fantastic weekend and met lots of new friends in the process. In supporting the Lakefest festival insured faster turn around time between bands as there was a quality Tee Drums kit on stage which many drummers took the opportunity to play. Some of the Drummers who played Tee Drums at the festival include Danny Farrant of the Buzzcocks, Ade Hill of Doctor and the Medics, Che Beresford of Phoneys and the Freaks, Tim Tolhurst of The Rovin Crows

The kit is fitted with single point lugs, triple flanged hoops, Trick strainers on the snare drums and Evans heads.
