Meinl is introducing two new Thomas Lang Practice Pads. Both pads have a unique look featuring Thomas’ own tribal ring design along with an autograph of Thomas.
The 6” pad is perfect drum drummers on the go. Its round shape and small pocket size make it easy to store and carry, even in a stick bag. The bottom side is covered with foam to prevent it from sliding and it is mountable on a normal cymbal stand.
The 12” pad is made for quiet practicing on a snare drum and it can even mount in a standard snare stand. The bottom side is also covered with foam to prevent it from sliding on a tabletop or snare drum.
Both pads provide a realistic playing feel with a natural rebound.

Meinl Cymbals is pleased to welcome Sean Stockham to the Meinl Cymbal Family.
Sean lays down the heavy pocket for alternative rock duo Middle Class Rut.
Their debut full length album, NO NAME NO COLOR compiles 12 songs from a span of several years, showcasing a breadth of time without ever losing its clear impression of cohesion. A few tracks have appeared previously on the band’s three EPs, which they released in 2007, 2008 and 2009, but the album as a whole is a new construction that reveals a band with a unique creative process. The majority of the songs have been tested on the road during tours in the U.S. with Social Distortion, Them Crooked Vultures and Alice In Chains, and in Europe with The Bronx and …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.
Currently Sean and MCR are on the road belting out their great songs that blend unforgettable choruses with no frills rock and roll; music that evokes a time when bands didn't have to be a part of a scene...they just played great tunes.

Each drummer slams out four on the floor imaginative arena rock drumming that supports heroic rock vocals and guitar heroics .
A big welcome to Chachi and Dillon!
