"I'm truly humbled that DW has chosen to honor our most notable recording in this way. It was a milestone for the band, and through this fine instrument, the memories will live on. I also want to make sure drummers know this is a playable drum, not just a work of art. I'll believe my new baby will find its way to my kit next tour."
'Rumours'
One of the most iconic and influential albums of all time, Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' topped the Billboard charts for 31 weeks and to date, has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The album also won the Grammy for Album of the Year, and has been certified Diamond in the United States, Canada, and Australia and was named number 25 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
About DW's 'Rumours' Icon Snare
Hand-crafted in DW's California Custom Shop from 11 plies of North American Hard Rock Maple, the 6.5" x 14" drum features HVLT shell technology and comes standard with all of DW's professional snare drum features including True-Pitch 50 Tuning, True-Tone Snare Wires, True-Hoops, MAG Throw-Off with 3P butt plate and DW Heads by Remo USA.
Protected by an ultra-thin coat of hand-sprayed polyester gloss lacquer, the limited edition collectable is complimented with gold hardware, and includes a deluxe DW carrying case and certificate of authenticity. Only 250 of these drums will ever be produced.
DW's executive vice president and drum designer, John Good exclaims:
"This marks the fifth Icon snare drum we've released. I'm very proud of this drum and feel flattered that Mick feels the same. It's important to explain that these drum aren’t signature snares, but rather tributes to a drummer and their musical legacy. Few are more important than Fleetwood Mac Rumours. Can't wait to get started on the next one."
