CL-BD12C
CONCERT BASS DRUM - "CLASSIC WOOD" (pair)

The CL-BD12C Classic Wood trims down the sound of a single wood core and does the fine work of the Maximus, but with more detail and finesse. The added chamois cover provides a firm yet warm articulation.

Christopher S. Lamb
Manhattan School of Music
New York Philharmonic Principal Percussionist

Grammy Awardwinning percussionist Christopher Lamb has been hailed as a dynamic and versatile performer. Having joined the New York Philharmonic as Principal Percussionist in 1985, The Constance R. Hoguet Friends of the Philharmonic Chair, he subsequently made his solo debut with the Orchestra in the World Premiere of Joseph Schwantners Percussion Concerto, one of several commissions celebrating the Philharmonics 150th anniversary. He has since performed the work to critical acclaim with orchestras throughout the United States and in 2011 won a Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Soloist for his recording of Schwantners Percussion Concerto with the Nashville Symphony. Mr. Lamb also gave the World Premiere of Tan Duns Concerto for Water Percussion, a second work commissioned for him by the New York Philharmonic, and has performed it to rave reviews on the Philharmonics tour to South America, as well as in Asia and Europe with such notable orchestras as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Amsterdams Royal Concertgebouw, Leipzigs Gewandhaus Orchestra, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. In the United States, he has performed the work with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, and the Pacific Symphony. New York Philharmonic Music Director Emeritus Kurt Masur selected Mr. Lambs performance of Tan Duns Concerto for Water Percussion for release in the Orchestras collection of recordings highlighting his tenure as Music Director. The third commission for Mr. Lamb by the New York Philharmonic, Susan Bottis Echo Tempo for Soprano, Percussion, and Orchestra, was given its World Premiere by Ms. Botti, Mr. Lamb, and the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Mr. Masur.

A faculty member of the Manhattan School of Music since 1989, Christopher Lamb has led clinics and master classes throughout the United States and on almost every continent. In 1999 he was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholars Award to lecture and conduct research in Australia. During his five-month residency at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, he presented master classes and seminars titled A Comprehensive Examination of Orchestral Percussion, which has grown into a model for the art of teaching percussion. In 2010 Mr. Lamb was invited to join the faculty of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland as an international fellow.

Mr. Lamb has recorded chamber works on the New World, Cala, and CRI labels, and his Grammy Awardwinning performance of Schwantners Percussion Concerto is available on the Nonesuch label. Christopher Lamb is a former member of The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Buffalo Philharmonic and a graduate of the Eastman School of Music.
