The Eli Young band recently had the opportunity to record “Gimme Three Steps” for the new album Sweet Home Alabama – The Country Music Tribute To Lynyrd Skynyrd. The album drops July 20th, and also includes artists Eric Church, Randy Houser, Shooter Jennings, Jamey Johnson, Uncle Kracker, Randy Montana, Ashley Ray and Eli Young Band.  In addition to that new release, the EYB is keeping busy on the road this summer, and will likely  show up in a town near you.  Click here for a list of tour dates, and go check out Chris on his rockin’ set of Phattie Drums this summer!

Eli Young Band - Country Throwdown Tour

The Eli Young Band is currently pounding the pavement on the Country Throwdown Tour, hitting cities all over the U.S. with a ton of incredibly talented artists.  Click the image above for a list of dates and get yourself there if you’re a fan of rockin’ country music!  Last week I had the opportunity to catch a show and deliver a new snare to Chris Thompson, drummer for the Eli Young Band.  The snare is 14″x6.5″ clear acrylic with frosted EYB and Phattie logos, and a custom lighting system with remote control.  This snare turns heads unlike anything else, watch the video below to get a full sampling of the different colors/fades/flashes/etc. that it is capable of.  Very cool stuff, look for several full kits later this summer with similar systems we are currently engineering (or click here to check out one we recently did featuring low-profile LED Black Lights!) Dig it:

Last Train Out keeping busy…

by Dennis
May 24th, 2010

Playing this weekend at Country Palooza is our friend and great drummer Dave Stover with Last Train Out.  If you haven’t checked them out, follow that last link to listen to some recent recordings on their Myspace page.  Dave currently rocks a Phattie setup in a Black Semi-Gloss hand rubbed stain over thin maple shells, with a 12″x10″ rack, 14″x14″ and 16″x14″ floors, and a thumping 24″x18″ bass.  He recently added a 14″x7″ Dragon Snare to the mix for a serious snare sound.  For those in the Grand Rapids area, you definitely need to make the trek out to see Last Train Out at Country Palooza this weekend, should be a rockin’ family-friendly time all around!

April 5th, 2010

Our good friend Chris Thompson of the Eli Young Band played the Houston Rodeo last month to a giant crowd on a rotating stage with a crazy light show while playing his Phatties.  That one run-on sentence sums it all up, so lets get right to the photos and video:

Pre-show setup:
