The PDP Aluminium Concept Select Snare has a seamless 3-mm aluminum shell fitted with satin walnut wood hoops and low-profile claw hooks. The aluminum shell creates a focused, dry tone with minimal overtones while the wood hoops add a warm earthy timbre while also enhancing playing comfort. The new PDP Bell Bronze Concept Select Snare features a heavy 3-mm seamless bell bronze shell that produces a thick, dense sound with a punchy attack. Completing the new additions is the PDP Steel Concept Select Snare, which features a 3-mm seamless steel shell designed for added definition and sensitivity. All the snares are 6.5 x 14 in. and feature chrome hardware, True-Pitch tension rods, DW Mag throw-offs, Remo drumheads, and laser-engraved PDP badges.

Dexibell VIVO S7 PRO M Stage Piano Dexibell, a Proel brand, has introduced the VIVO S7 PRO M stage piano. The VIVO S7 PRO M has the same onboard controls, sounds, connectivity, and capabilities as Dexibell’s VIVO S7 PRO stage piano, but with the addition of the 70-W (2 x 35-W) speaker system currently onboard Dexibell’s Classico L3 organ. With its built-in 70-W speaker monitoring system, the VIVO S7 PRO M is designed to be very portable for live musicians, weighing 34 lbs. – 5.5 lbs. lighter than the VIVO S7 PRO. This added portability is achieved through a lighter but still fully-weighted and responsive 88-note hammer-action keybed. With its on- board speaker system, musicians have the op- tion of amplification for live performance in small venues, a stage monitoring system built inside the instrument with the functionality of traditional external stage monitors, and portable amplification for practice.
