"The stool lets you feel the bass drum and bass player and I feel it has helped me transform my drumming. I'm playing quieter and not fighting to hear the bass drum. It really is like having a metronome in your body."

Just across the Irish Sea, session drummer and multi instrumentalist Gerry Morgan (James Bay), and Rick McMurray (Ash) have also decided to use Porter & Davies equipment. Rick says:

"What's that big green thing added to my rig? It's only the Porter & Davies BC2rm! I'll be feeling that bottom end all night long!"

Meanwhile drummers from across the Atlantic are also using either the BC2 or the BC Gigster. These include Steve DiStanislao with Dave Gilmour; who will soon be touring the UK and Europe for the first time in nine years, and Pete Parada of The Offspring, one of the busiest musicians on the punk rock scene.

Ira Elliot, the highly skilled drummer behind power trio Nada Surf, and Shannon Forrest of Toto, who has played on more Top 10 hits than any drummer in Nashville for a seven year period, have also recently become Porter & Davies artists.

Fellow Americans David Uosikkinen (The Hooters), John Paris (Earth, Wind & Fire) and Frank Zummo (Krewella, Gary Numan) have also had their drumming world changed by Porter & Davies rigs.

Representing the rest of the world on the Porter & Davies list of performers are drummers James Kottak (Scorpions), Mauricio 'Fritz' Lewak (Jackson Browne) and Christian Strybosch (The Drones).
