Sorum unveils new project
Drummer reveals Grand Sound Lodge
Matt Sorum has launched a new project using music to aid humanitarian efforts.
The Velvet Revolver tub thumper has teamed up with Lanny Cordola to form Grand Sound Lodge.
Sorum revealed on his website that he hopes to use the partnership to develop a group of musicians from all over the world who wish to use music to help humanitarian causes.
He said: “After many years travelling the world playing music and meeting so many people I believe it is in us all to come together with love and music to help one another.”
Grand Sound Lodge´s first song is called ‘Hands Together´ and was written about the recent Haiti earthquake.

I'm MusicRadar's eCommerce Editor. In addition to testing the latest music gear, with a particular focus on electronic drums, it's my job to manage the 300+ buyer's guides on MusicRadar and help musicians find the right gear for them at the best prices. I dabble with guitar, but my main instrument is the drums, which I have been playing for 24 years. I've been a part of the music gear industry for 20 years, including 7 years as Editor of the UK's best-selling drum magazine Rhythm, and 5 years as a freelance music writer, during which time I worked with the world's biggest instrument brands including Roland, Boss, Laney and Natal.
