POISON Drummer Rikki Rockett Gives Viewers A Backstage Pass On New Reality Show, American Drums Rikki Rockett, drummer of multiplatinum rock band
POISON, is out to
prove that "drums do come true" on his new reality show, American Drums.
For nearly a decade,
Rockett has been building custom drum kits for
clients ranging from modern day legends-of-rock, to future
rockers-in-training. He and his rag tag gang of misfit staffers at
Rocket Drum Works not only create some of the most jaw-dropping
ultra-custom kits in the world, but are the only drum-kit makers who can
boast 100% American made product.
On American Drums,
Rockett gives viewers an all-access pass into the
gritty world of rock and roll craftsmen - from his oddball staff and
their hard-to-impress clientele to the high-tech drum designs
themselves.
“Making drums of this caliber is not easy,” says
Rockett. “It takes
precision, artistry, and craftsmanship. My crew has all three.” Rockett
continues, “If I’m being totally honest, when we deliver kits to the
clients, it never ceases to amaze me we’re able to hit aggressive
deadlines and budgets when I see the lunatics running the asylum back at
my shop. But we’ve never messed up an order – yet.”
American Drums is currently being shopped to networks, so be on the lookout for more drums – and more drama – in 2013.
