Dixon Cornerstone Concert drum line

Dixon Drums and Hardware announced its move into the concert hall with the Cornerstone Concert line, including snare and field drum models built around Cornerstone MSP formula shells.

The line is designed to deliver tone, clarity and projection while maintaining a price point suited to school programs and students. The release highlights seven models, including a tri-cable snare configuration for adaptable performance needs.

According to Dixon U.S. Brand Manager Jim Uding, the development of the Cornerstone series enabled Dixon to enter the band and orchestra percussion market with the right balance of sound, performance and value.

Artifacts made from durable materials or constructed using durable methods, have been found to survive. As such, the specimens found cannot be irrefutably placed as the earliest musical instruments.
