In 2008, The TRX Cymbal Co. created a new program to support up-and-coming drummers called “Rising Stars”. Company president, David Levine, implemented the project to provide TRX’s high-quality, custom made Turkish cymbals to talented, young players who are currently establishing their credentials and building solid reputations in the studio and on the road.

“Tomorrow’s legends are in the trenches today— track by track and show by show — but they’re definitely on the rise,” comments Levine. “Just like TRX.”

Among the first players to join the TRX “Rising Stars” project are:
