TESTIMONIALS
"The RimRiser helps give rimshotting a distinct, vocal clarity and definition that articulates my rhythmic vocabulary!"
Jonathan Moffett
(Madonna, Michael Jackson, Cameo)
"Finally, no more searching for the right drum stick to get the perfect CROSSTICK sound. It always sounds right."
Jerry Marrotta
(Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)
"Wow... great product. I'm always having to shift around to find the sweet spot and now I don't have to because it's perfect right there... especially in the studio. Usually I have to find the best cross-stick on the track, then cut/copy/paste it through the rest of the track. Not anymore. Moreover, I can smack cross-sticks harder with the raised rim. Great product... thank you so much man. It will get much use!"
Nate Morton
(Bonnie Hunt show house band)

It makes the Latin cross stick patterns come out cleaner and easier. Great idea."
Richie 'Gajate' Garcia
(Diana Ross, Phil Collins)

RimRiser is a pleasure to play!"

allowing you now to use the rim melodically."

"Wow! I can't believe what a difference my new RimRiser made. This is the best thing to happen to drums since drumsticks. It made rimshots much less fatiguing on my hand and I was able to execute rimshots so much more consistently and powerfully. Thanks so much!"

TRADE JOURNAL REVIEWS
"Playing without the RimRiser now feels as though my hand is hunched over the stick, and I'm more aware of lifting it for playing the rim-click pattern. Playing with the RimRiser also makes the transition between playing rim-clicks and regular snare shots much easier. I can now make the same move faster and smoother than before. Plus, the sound is, indeed, more consistent."
Chap Ostrander for Modern Drummer November 2005 issue
"The RimRiser allowed me to play a rim-click without having to modify the way I hold the stick. This lack of grip modification makes for a much more comfortable and ergonomic cross-stick playing. For another The RimRiser also seems to facilitate playing faster and more complicated rim click patterns. I suspect the RimRiser might become a standard item on many drummers’ snares once they realize its possibilities."
David Libman for Traps magazine, Dreamkit Review issue; Feb. 2008 issue
