DDRUM artist Derrick Wright performs with Adele on Letterman!



Here is the live performance of Adele's single, "Rolling in the Deep", off her latest album 21.  The clip features drummer Derrick Wright playing on his dios ash burl drum set.  Derrick is all about capturing the right vibe for his current gig.  We have had lengthy discussions in regard to what gear will suit Adele's soulful vocal styling's.  Of particular interest was the tone of the snare drum.  We sent him one of our new iron blend Artisan snares.  This drum has a softer, more old-school tone, that’s perfect for fat backbeats.  Their live sound engineer agreed, and now the drum is making its nationwide debut.  Besides letterman, Adele has played the Today Show, and AOL sessions.  The band is now winging its way to LA for stints on Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel.  When the tour returns to England, Derrick will be playing one of the new Reflex kits in pewter.  More proof that the Reflex line is a force to be reckoned with in ANY playing situation.
