Jobeky Festival 2011
The bank holiday weekend just gone was great for topping up your tan and finishing off the last morsels of Easter's chocolate haul. But, on Sunday we broke out of our confectionary-induced slumber and headed to Stafford for the third annual Jobeky Drums Festival.
As well as star clinics from Steve White, Pete Cater and more, the event saw the great and the good of the UK's drum world bust out a bounty of gorgeous gear, the pick of which we've gathered together for you right here.
Fittingly we're kicking things off with Jobeky's own gear, which including several kits featuring acoustic looks and electronic practicalities. As ever, great stuff from Jane and Colin at Jobeky.

One of the first stands to catch our attention was that of Gatton. Check out this snare to see just why we were so taken by their racks of corian shells. Beautiful. After being stood next to the Gatton stand while an incredibly enthusiastic punter gave this snare a test drive we can confirm that it is as loud as hell and cuts through ridiculously well.

We checked these guys out at last year's Jobeky show and suggested they could become the UK's answer to SJC. After taking a peek at the several kits and snares they had on show this year we reckon that's exactly where they could be headed. We're looking forward to seeing, and hearing, much more from AD Drums over the coming months.
