Bruford and the art of conversation Posted by Sid: Wednesday 1st July 2009 Here’s something to get the gearheads amongst you excited. Tama are selling a Bill Bruford signature snare drum which you can take a look at right here.
Elsewhere Bill’s musical partner, Michiel Borstlap has recently updated his myspace site to include a couple of sublime tunes which are well worth checking out. If you listen carefully on the myspace site you’ll hear BB introduce Michiel.
