Brent Fitz now using Vater Drumsticks

MMR • Supplier Scene • February 18, 2015

Brent Fitz is now using the Vater MV-10 Model Drumstick. His first public performance with theVater MV-10 was on Conan on February 5th. 

A quick backstory on how Fitz ends up in a band with Slash and the guys… The musical dots that connected Fitz and Slash started in 2010, and were certainly 20 years in the making, but most likely due to Fitz’s diverse resume and much respect amongst his musical peers, who all turned Slash’s attention towards Fitz when searching for the ‘right’ guys to be in his band.

Growing up in Canada, the long list of roads traveled and gigs played lead Fitz to Los Angeles in the mid nineties (a key career move at the time) and contributed to a much larger scale of musical opportunity. From Winnipeg, Canada to Hollywood, California, the long list of artists Fitz has worked with include Union, Vince Neil, Alice Cooper, Theory Of A Deadman, Econoline Crush, Kenny Shields from Streetheart and The Guess Who to name a few. A twenty-five year span of many gigs and musical opportunity have all played a factor in the dots that would eventually connect Fitz and the guys to form Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators – a band that proudly features Fitz’s best work, and with the best musicians of his career.

Brent is currently on tour with Slash, supporting "World On Fire". Dates can be seen at www.slashonline.com.
