Jimmy DeGrasso will join Ministry on their final world tour, dubbed the C U LaTouR. DeGrasso, one of rock’s most prolific hard rock drummers, who\'s credits include David Lee Roth, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne, Suicidal Tendencies, has also rejoined Sabian\'s International Artist Program.\"I played every major brand of cymbals over the years, including Sabian. And now I’m back to Sabian because the direction of the company in terms of innovative new concepts has grown so much over the years. It’s the same great cymbal maker, but its ideas and designs are a million miles ahead of where they were fifteen years ago, and way ahead of anyone else now. That innovative spirit and ability of the Sabian Vault Team to nail exactly what drummers are looking for is what impressed me.”
