Rhythm X and ON2 Percussion Join Forces

Today we're excited to finally announce that Rhythm X and ON2 Percussion - the preeminent designer and manufacturer of drum slips - are joining forces. This year the Rhythm X battery will be marching with ON2 drum slips over our Pearl CarbonCore instruments.

This year the overall visual design of our show requires a level of customization on our drums slips that only ON2 can provide. They are the industry leader in customization of drum slips and even accompanying bass drum heads. ON2 and FJM, Inc. have worked closely to ensure that our drum slips, heads, and uniforms are something the activity has never seen before.

Stay tuned, tomorrow we'll release the first images of the X15 uniform and drum slip concepts.
