Canadian rockers Nickelback are now seven months into their tour after playing more than eighty cities in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. They are now playing across the Far East and Australia.

Daniel Adair, who has been drummer with Nickelback since January 2005, has been using the new saddle style BC2 throne on their tour and absolutely loves it:

"I am kinda speechless! What can I say that hasn't been said before by others that have tried it? Its amazing! I love how it picks up the lower end from the toms as well. This will definitely change how I approach things from now on. Even practicing some double kicks today I was clearly aware of weak points through the sensitivity of the device. More drummers need this."

The Porter & Davies BC2 system converts signals from the bass drum microphone or an electronic kit into a physical pulse that is transmitted to the player's body via the systems modified drum throne.

The transmission is transferred by Bone Conduction (BC), which means the player feels and hears the sound internally instead of just relying on conventional audio only monitoring.

The BC2, with standard and saddle style thrones will be at the 2013 Winter NAMM. To see them, visit Porter & Davies in Hall D Stand 2879.
