The lugs and tension rods are immersed in 24k gold. The sound is incredibly articulate, loud, and musical. In Ruben’s words, “These timbales kick ass.” Nicely put.

Ford Drums is pleased to announce that Richard Rayner (Young Drummer of the Year 2009 ) has signed as a Ford artist and will proudly endorse Ford’s range of drums and Smart Ass seats. Richard will be performing throughout the year at clinics, exhibitions and with his various performing ensembles.

Richard will be playing a Ford Maverick 6 piece Fusion Kit for all his engagements and clinics. Showcased at Winter NAMM 2010, the Maverick Series is designed to allow a top quality drum kit to be toured and gigged with confidence, whilst knowing that the exterior is protected by its BTS Elastomer Kevlar finish. This finish can take anything that’s thrown at it on the road while protecting a high quality instrument and in no way prejudicing its tonal qualities.

In fact Gerry McDonnell of Mike Dolbear.com has said…

“…the Ford Maverick was the best sounding kit at NAMM 2010 (you can quote me on that!) and I wanted one as soon as I heard it.”
