Virgil Playing Pearl

[Uncle Tom]

Anyone notice the annoncment on Virgil Donati's web site that he's now playing Pearl drums after a 10 year association with Premier Percussion.

I'm sure that it's got nothing to do with the fact that he marched on to the Premier booth at the recent NAMM show with his lawyer and demanded that Premier pay him $45,000 per year!!!!!

You know, I heard that a little before the NAMM show actually, and I planned on posting it as news but never did. Kind of interesting.
I think the guy I've seen switvh drums the most is Bissonette. He was with Yamaha when he was first with Roth, then Pearl. Then Slingerland, then Mapex(?) Not sure who hes with now.
