Buddy Rich Drum Company Launches
(PRWeb) January 15, 2007 -- The family of late, legendary drummer Buddy Rich, and drum industry veteran Bill Morgan are proud to announce the unveiling of the Buddy Rich Drum Company. The company launches on January 18th at the NAMM convention in Anaheim, California.
"We couldn't be more proud and excited," says Rich's daughter Cathy, co- president of the company. "My father stood for excellence and integrity and that is exactly what our company is based on. The drums are of the highest quality and would be the drums that Buddy himself would want to play. We have used his template and standards to create the best of the best."
"This has been a challenging process," states Morgan, "because we wanted to be sure that we had everything the way Buddy would have wanted it." Not an easy feat, considering how much of a perfectionist he was with everything in his life.
"We are so thrilled to be bringing part of my late husband's legacy to the marketplace," states Buddy's widow, Marie.
A true family affair, the company is also represented by Rich's 21 year old grandson, Nick. "I am honored to be part of something that brings my grandfather to my age group. The work that my family has done in the past twenty years has kept my grandfather's name alive for all generations."
A drumming force himself, Nick Rich was recently asked to join the newly formed band, TKO, which features multi-platinum recording artist, Ray J. The band has just signed with Lou Pearlman, the man behind N* Sync, Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.
