This clip from @daveelitch shows a great warm up combining single strokes, double strokes, and paradiddle diddles, all connected seamlessly at various dynamic levels. He employs his concept of “Pure Rebound,” which ensures that he is as relaxed as possible, so he can play as fast as wants with minimum effort. #vicfirth #vicfirthsticks
We love this super dry groove from @petarjdrums
Performed with Vic Firth 55A sticks #vicfirth #vicfirthsticks
Drum Cam of @nick_folio crushing this performance of "Just Pretend" by @badomensofficia.
He's rocking the American Classic® Extreme 5B sticks, just like the 5B's but with a bit more reach and power. #vicfirth #vicfirthsticks

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Lyndon Laney, founder of Laney Amplification and one of the true pioneers of British musical equipment manufacturing.
Lyndon established Laney Amplification in 1967 and, through vision, dedication, and an uncompromising commitment to quality, built the company from modest beginnings into an internationally respected and successful brand. His work helped shape the sound of generations of musicians, most notably that of his long-term friend Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.
Alongside Laney, he went on to develop several other industry ventures to become what is now the Headstock Group. First expanding into the Pro Audio sector with the acquisition of HH Audio, then with the development of Headstock Distribution to represent the Hoshino Gakki brands Ibanez and Tama and then attracting further leading brands such as Zildjian, Vic Firth and DiMarzio.
Lyndon’s influence extended far beyond business success; he was admired for his warmth, integrity, humour and quiet determination.
Lyndon was not only a founder, but also a creator, innovator, and trusted figure whose passion for industry was at the heart of his working life. His legacy continues through the business he built and through his son, James Laney, who proudly carries that vision forward.
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and the wider music community.
