Groove master, Ash Soan, is one of the most in demand session players today. He has played on 29 number-one albums and 10 number-one singles as well as 58 top ten albums and 17 top ten singles. He is currently on tour with Snow Patrol, one of the most enduring indie band Britian has ever produced. Of his BC2rm Soan says ‘I have been using Porter & Davies for decades now. From Tori Amos, Snow Patrol and in the studio, there is no better…..’.
Also hitting the road and headlining the UEFA Championship Final Kick Off Show this summer are one of the biggest Nu-Metal and Alternative bands, Linkin Park. The band’s new drummer, Colin Brittain, has been using his BC2 on tour as well as when recording the recently released album From Zero.
Drummer with Singer-songwriter and Brit and Mercury Award nominee, Cat Burns, is Sharlene Goodridge who also tours with the Prince tribute band, New Purple Celebration. Talking about her recently acquired BC2 she said: ‘Wow, what a game-changer! As a drummer, I’ve always been on the lookout for gear that can elevate my performance. I’ve done so many shows using a sub along with my in-ears, but I never got the same feeling. Something was lacking, something was missing, the BC2 allows me to truly feel the bass and enhances my overall sound. From show to show, this incredible piece of equipment has made a noticeable difference in my playing, allowing me to deliver better performances every time. I’m thrilled to be a part of an amazing company.’
BC2s are also being used by Jay Weinberg on tour with Suicidal Tendencies, Daniel Fang out with Turnstile, and Tom Colltouring with Fontaines DC. Gavin Harrison will be using one in the studio with Nick Johnson and on tour with Pineapple Thief.
In addition, a number of Porter & Davies TT6 Equipped Thrones will also be out on tour with Andrew Marshall with Billie Elish, JR Robinson for his USA shows, Shinya Terachi and Dir En Grey, P.H Naffah on drums for Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers and Barry Kerch playing with Shinedown.
