Another SCANDAL guitars line-up!

After looking around for some detail on their gears, finally I could add some info of SCANDAL new guitars + Tomomi's Fender Coronado. Enjoy!..v^_^ 

Squier Jazz Bass “Tomomi Model”(Blue+Stripe Line), nickname: Brutus.
Tomomi original model bass was introduced on Nihon Budokan live concert in March 28th2012. It was made with the certain visual, weight and sound so it could produce a sound between Jazz-Bass and Precision Bass. It’s equipped with ’62 vintage model pickup. Body from ashwood, mapleneck and rosewood fretboard. Ash characteristic pushing out the strong and tight sound of the bass. While Yuusuke-kun is an active bass type, this one is a normal passive type. The distinctive bass body part, produce a good sound. There’s 3 control knobs consist of front volume, rear volume, and tone.

Fender Telecaster Thinline Deluxe Classic Player Series



Fender Tele Thinline, with a semi-hollow body, and classic looks catch my attention since Haruna Ono of SCANDAL use it as one of her instrument. The sounds, the looks that lil' bit different than the standard Tele kinda make me curious. So, here's the details of the guitars.

The Drummer Heroes!

      The drummer, is the guardian of the beat, the heartbeat of the band. Along with bass, both of them has significant role to maintain the beat of the song, and keeper of the rhythm. They keep the beat up, while the guitar doing solo, or emphasized the riff of the song with their strike on the snare, bass, toms or on the hihats, crash, and splash cymbals. 
      Though their position is in the back, but their sounds would catch our ears immediately. They responsible to make a song recognizable.Through their speed-play with double bass pedals or swing/sway around on melancholic song. Here's my lists of favorite drummers along the time..enjoy!

#Mike Portnoy, (Michael Stephen Portnoy born April 20th, 1967 in Long Beach, Long Island, New York). The household name for progressive rock drummer, Mike Portnoy. Known as a drummer with an oddtime signature drum play and technical skill above the average. Founder of Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment. My favorite track from Portnoy is Dream Theater’s Dance Of Eternity. Various fill-in, oddtime signature, intense play, power and everything else on it. As John Petrucci said, if a drummer could play Dance of Eternity, they would be able to play any kind of music genre. After his departure from Dream Theater, he play along with the other musicians such as Russell Allen, Mike Orlando, Rich Ward and Paul DiLeo titled Adrenaline Mob. He also replaced Stone Sour drummer, Roy Mayorga, during Rock In Rio on September 14th, 2011. He even had a jamming sessions with Paul Gilbert, Neal Morse, Matt Bissonette, Daniel Gildenlöw, Dave LaRue, Sean Malone, Jason McMaster, Billy Sheehan, Gary Cherone, and Kasim Sulton in several tribute performances to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rush and The Who from 2003 to 2011.
