Standing Room Only last night at Daddy’s Boston for the return of drummer Mike Mangini and the debut of the Pearl Drums Mike Mangini Signature Series Snare drum! Great to see some familiar faces there and VERY cool to see and meet a ton of “newbies” - hope you ALL had a great time!

We had 5 Mike Mangini Signature Snare drums available and the ALL SOLD OUT! Hopefully, you were one of the lucky 5 :) I am sure we will be getting more in - give Mike Tocker - our resident drum guru - a buzz at Daddy’s Boston (617-247-0909) and he will hook you up.

A HUGE thanks to Hirsh, Mike, Brad and the entire Daddy’s Boston staff for all of their help last night! You guys did a GREAT job!

Congrats to Paul Skillings (below) for winning a Mike Mangini Signature Series Snare Drum!
