If you’re not familiar with the Eli Young band, we suggest you check’em out!  Solid music from a solid group of guys that are playing their way to the top.  Next week they will be opening up for Dave Matthews for a few dates, and then setting off for another tour of Texas.  Get more info by clicking here.  Chris Thompson’s new kit has custom acrylic shells with 10″ and 12″ rack toms, 14″ and 16″ floors, and a 22″ bass.  All feature a custom diamond pattern, white wood hoops, custom finished lugs, twine, and to top it off they strobe bright red when you hit them.  Go check out their tours page and see these in person, sooner then later.
