"I am so excited to be able to showcase my favorite brand of cymbals this year on the Vans Warped Tour. For those young drummers who have yet to play Meinl Cymbals and are taking lessons with Bandhappy this summer on Warped, they're really going to be in for a treat when they get to experience Meinl for the first time. I remember the first time I heard and saw Meinl cymbals, I was hooked almost instantly, and I'm stoked to be able to provide that experience for many more drummers each day on the Vans Warped Tour."

About the Vans Warped Tour
This tour is a well established music and lifestyle festival of the summer, breaking up-and-coming indie talent as well as both creating and show-casing major established artists since 1995.

The renowned festival is the most eclectic traveling tour in the United States and features a diverse array of artists - with hotly tipped acts in every genre from punk, metal and indie to rock, hip-hop, rap, electronic, reggae and pop; as well as a variety of lifestyle attractions for its traditionally low ticket price.

The tour has cemented its place in history by bringing punk rock/skate/action sports culture from the underground to the forefront of global youth culture, while at the same time helping those in need and being the first tour to consistently use groundbreaking environmental concepts every year on the road.

Vans Warped tour is the tour that Alternative Press Magazine readers voted the 'Best Tour/Festival' of 2009/2010 and Rolling Stone Magazine called "America's most successful festival" (2005). Now in its 20th year, the 42-date tour will commence June 13 in Houston, TX and end on August 3 in Denver, CO.

The line-up includes Of Mice & Men, Parkway Drive, The Devil Wears Prada, 3OH!3, Bowling For Soup, Born Of Osiris, Cute Is What We Aim For, Enter Shikari, and Secrets among many others.
