​A little further insight into our 2013 production from Ensemble Director TIm Fairbanks and Battery Coordinator Tim Jackson.

You've probably heard by now the title of our 2013 production, The Man in the Arena. We hope that over the next few months you'll learn a lot more about our show. This show is based primarily from an excerpt of a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt in 1910. Musically, our show has two influences. First is the second movement of Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto and second is Survival by Muse!

Want to have a brand new, custom designed, Pearl CarbonCore snare drum or tenor drum set in your house? Starting today, Rhythm X is running a raffle where two grand prize winners will walk home from the WGI World Championships with a brand new drum designed especially for our 2013 program! The drums come fully outfitted with Evans drumheads, and an Innovative Percussion stick bag and pair of Tim Fairbanks Signature marching sticks! 

We're excited to announce a new addition to The X Blog! Jordan Murray, our newest member has moved all the way from the United Kingdom to perform with Rhythm X in the front ensemble. He has graciously agreed to blog about his experience with Rhythm X and the United States. Keep a look out here on The X Blog for his first post!

Etymotic Research is a company most percussionists have heard of. Lately they've been making waves in the press and their adopt-a-band program has been promoting hearing protection to young musicians all over the country. 

While their ETY•Plugs® are the go-to product for performing musicians, concert goers, and anyone who understands the damage a loud environment can do, Etymotic provides a solution that takes hearing protection to a new level. The Music•PRO High-Definition Electronic Earplugs are an electronic earplug that allows you to hear naturally at normal levels until sounds of a dangerous level occur. The beauty of these earplugs is that you are provided with the exact amount of protection needed but only when you need it.
