Soultone Cymbals Artist, Veronica Bellino, Discovered by Legendary Guitarist Jeff Beck on YouTube to Become his New Drummer
Encino, CA (PRWEB) December 05, 2011
Soultone Cymbals, manufacturers of the world’s finest handmade cymbals, is proud to announce that our artist, Veronica Bellino was hand-picked by Jeff Beck as his new drummer. Beck discovered Bellino while searching YouTube for a talented drummer with “something different.”
A Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame inductee, multi Grammy® award winner, and Classic Rock Awards 2011 “Living Legend” winner – and as a performer who’s previous drummers include Vinnie Colaiuta, Narada Michael Walden, Keith Moon – Jeff Beck’s own bio reports, “The drums have to kick me in the a** and make me want to play or I’ll just sit there all day.”
Bellino is a member of Soultone Cymbals’ drummer family since 2006. Her diverse performances include work with Carmine Appice’s SLAMM, Rob Balducci, and LL Cool J’s 13 as well as having co-writer credits with Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run-DMC.
“Soultone Cymbals sound so clean and crisp,” reports Bellino. “The cymbals are so well designed and it shows in the sound. When I’m in the studio or walking off stage – usually a drummer or an engineer – someone will ask me about their amazing tone.”
Veronica Bellino first joined Soultone Cymbals at Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. She was on her way to perform at a nearby venue when the sound from the Soultone Cymbals booth caught her ear. She was impressed enough to sit down to play them and immediately got the attention of the company’s founder and CEO, Iki Levy. “Veronica is a profound talent and I knew that from the moment she sat down. I was so impressed that I offered to let her bring the cymbals she liked best to use in her performance that night.” The rest is history.
Veronica Bellino’s Soultone Cymbals setup includes:
14” Custom Series – Brilliant Hi-Hats
21” Custom Series – Brilliant Ride
15” Vintage Series – Crash

New Book Discusses How Survival and Nostalgia Can Go Hand in Hand
Winter Haven, FL (PRWEB) December 05, 2011
How can nostalgia be a doubled-edged sword? When you’re reminiscing about your idyllic 1950s childhood in a Vietnam jungle, fighting for your life. I Must Survive (published by AuthorHouse), Harry Simpson’s debut novel, centers on the story of the lone survivor of a brutal attack on a U.S. patrol boat during the Vietnam War. Simpson worked diligently to portray the war accurately, consulting with a former Green Beret who did five tours in Vietnam and a “brown-water navy” vet who served on U.S. Navy Swift boats.
The author has experienced his own forms of survival: polio as a child, prostate cancer, a spinal blockage and blood clots that forced him to learn to walk again; he still can’t be on his feet for long and gets around mostly in a golf cart. Most recently, he had surgery to remove cancer from his sinus cavity and now wears a prosthetic nose.
Simpson hopes that through the soldier’s memories, he conveys a sense of the contentment and family closeness he and others experienced growing up in the 1950s.
“We learned to face life’s hardships as a family and were very close and protective of each other,” Simpson says. “People that read the book now are fascinated by the way life was back then, and they wish life was a little more like that today.”
Author’s bio:
Harry Simpson grew up in Burlington, Colo., and spent 39 years in finance. He is a happily married stepfather, grandfather and great-grandfather who now lives most of the year in a retirement community in Winter Haven, Fla., surrounded by his beloved dogs and many friends.
