Al Murray talks drums and Aston mics at the NAMM Show

Comedian, occasional pub landlord, drummer, Aston artist and Director of the British Drum Company, Al Murray stopped by the Aston booth at NAMM to tell us what’s going on at BDC, and to rave about the Astons he uses on his kit!

“Clearly getting a good cymbal overhead sound is a big deal – I’ve got some Aston Starlights at home and some Aston Spirits and they’re absolutely brilliant.”

Al first encountered Aston mics at a King Crimson gig in Pompeii. The band have three drum kits on stage, all mic’ed with Astons of course…

This is Al’s first time at a NAMM show, an experience he describes as ‘mad’.
