I love it (the FLIP); for the first time ever I can rely on my kit sounding the same every night. My tech loves it (and carries it around like a trophy!!). I think that, in addition to the functionality and accuracy of the FLIP, the design and aesthetic is so good that it’s immediately desirable...a must-have for drummers!

Paul is a member of Scottish rock band GUN. Their new album 'Break The Silence' (produced by Dave Eringa), is scheduled for release on 9 July; for a sneaky taster, you can listen to the title track here. Expect to hear A LOT from GUN this year - with a UK tour with Big Country already under their collective belts, the band showcase the new material at London Islington Academy 2 on 22 May. Then there's a busy June planned, supporting The Cult on their Euro tour in addition to a host of festival appearances including the UK's Download, Austria's Novarock and Spain's Azkena. Blimey! Hear Paul's great drum sound on 'Last Train From Central' which is available to download free from the GUN website

...(the FLIP) made my toms sound like the absolute sex as soon as I started using it!

Our sound engineer no longer needed to EQ my toms at all to get them sounding amazing

Nigel is a core member of Frank Turner's band the Sleeping Souls. His great drum sound is a feature of Frank's fourth studio album entitled England Keep My Bones, which entered the UK Album Chart at #12. The boys have already toured across the US and Europe this year (including a sold out headline show at London's Wembley Arena on 13 April). The band is currently on tour in Australia, followed by a number of European festival dates including UK shows at T in the Park in July and the V-Festival in August *phew*
