So this morning I'm going to brag a bit. I'm not usually one for tooting my own horn, but this is pretty stinkin' cool! It actually doesn't have anything to do with me, not in the sense of like I did something great to do deserve it or anything. This is actually more me bragging on one of the most generous people/companies I've ever met, I just get to be the blessed recipient, Risen Drums are the ones that are so cool!
I've been endorsing RD for about a year and a half now, have had an amazing drum kit that they gave me at cost that has served me quite well both live and in the studio. In fact I used that kit exclusively to record our latest record, "We Need Each Other", and it sounds great if I do say so myself.
I happen to call Keith Anderson, the owner of Risen Drums a couple of months ago to let him that we just got hooked up with the Third Day tour and that I would maybe want to get another kit for that tour. Keith decided that he wants all the Risen guys to have at least two kits on hand at all times so he agreed that I needed a new kit but then also took it a step further and declared that I was going to be receiving this kit free of charge! Yea, I about pooped my pants when he said that. I couldn't believe it! So here are pic's of my very beautiful new Risen Custom Drums and this is my tribute to the most generous and amazing drum company in the world! Risen Drums Rock!

i freakin love having john bonham drums in my ears every night!! you rock mark, and definitely deserve these drums.
They are beautiful. Thanks for the link to DrumArt. I had no idea this was a possibility let alone that they existed. Definitely going to use them for my band's new album.
nice drums, man. Im a drummer of Youngstown, Ohio, so i can relate. I have a drum set, obviosly. If you go to my myspace(im Paul Oder), u can see it. By the way, my church went to Toledo a while back to sing & minister to people, maybe u heard them. The church is called Highway Tabernacle. See yah
Mark! Those things are flippin' sweet! TWO floor toms? I don't see that very often! They're also pretty, but not in a girly way :)
i really don't know anything about drums, but those are pretty :)
Beautiful kit. I've played drums since I was 7 and have dreamt of a kit like that.
Very much like a Buddy Rich set. Maybe now the guys will let you go off on a Buddy style drum solo in the middle of each song!
Those are VERY nifty!
Have fun with them, and congrats!
lovely.
considering i'm a huge fan of SR and UNC this is like my dream kit.
I got 1st dibbs on this kit when you sell it :)
hope you guys have a great year touring, and come to VA!
Congratulations on your drum gift. That was a blessing from God The Risen drums do rock. I love the mixture of the blue and white. I have been playing drums since I was 16 and I'm now 46. My son who is 22 plays and my daughter almost has it down packed. You have a fine looking family and congratulations on the new baby coming. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SUSAN
