Grover
Pro Percussion to Display Latest Power-Picc Snares At Winter NAMM
October
29, 1997Grover Pro Percussion will display their Power-PiCC, the
latest generation of Performance Snare Drums, at Winter NAMM in Los Angeles.
The Power-Picc (MSRP $480) is a 5x10" (or 6x12") secondary snare drum
that is designed to be mounted from a hi hat stand or cymbal stand. It is now
available with a maple or exclusive CST shell. The Maple Series features 8 plies
of maple with an outer ply of imported, hand-select Italian wood that is chosen
for its beautiful grain pattern and rich finish. Designer Italian Ligna Finishes
include four birdseye patterns (Natural Wood, Cobalt Blue, Carmine Red and Sage
Green) and two burl patterns (Deep Plum and Amazon Green). The CST Series, which
is available in nine high-gloss finishes, features a virtually indestructible
synthetic shell with a distinctive bright tone and ultra-sensitive response.
"For years, drummers have been adding double bass drums, toms and cyrnbals
to their existing drumset while the snare drum configuration has remained stagnant,"
commented Neil Grover, president of Grover Pro Percussion. "Our new Power-Picc
allows drummers to mount a secondary snare drum from their hi hat or any cymbal
stand to increase their variety of sound colors." All Performance Snare
Drums feature the new Performance Snare System non-spiral snare wire for increased
projection and sensitivity, die-cast "coffin-style" lugs with rubber
bushings that allow the shell to vibrate freely, precision bearing edges for minimal
head-to-shell contact, 2.3mm hoops isolated with nylon washers, and a nodal venting
system which places an air-dispersion vent in the drum's "sweet" spot
(near the bottom drum head) to produce a faster transient attack. For more information, visit their web site
