Hammerax has pitched a perfect game with zero returns on its lines of suspended hybrid percussion. Brands such as Boomywang, Culebra, Glass, Meanie, Dustbowl, and Lash were first released in summer 2006. “The multiple, narrow cables are strong, and our alloys are cast and rolled in a very special way,” stated John Stannard, Hammerax president.

Our cable is an extended-chain fiber and is, pound for pound, 15 times stronger than steel and is 40 percent stronger than typical bullet-proof fiber. “We discovered that you need a very sharp blade to cut it easily. It is also very slippery- we needed to tie multiple knots. This extreme toughness lets the instrument ring as if it was floating,” he added.

Hammerax cables are modular. They replace quickly by being slipped into a wood frame, so there has been no need for the company to send out the free replacement cable packs.

Proof has been in the field testing by drummers and percussionists. Hammerax hybrid endorsers include Marco Giovino (touring with Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame), Bashiri Johnson (Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Sting), Omar Hakim (Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Madonna), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, KTU, Stick Men), Terry Bozzio (Missing Persons, Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck), Walfredo Reyes Jr. (Santana, Lindsey Buckingham, Jackson Browne), Will Calhoun (Living Color, Mos Def, Herb Alpert), Evelyn Glennie (Solo, Bjork), Jim Keltner (Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr), KJ Sawka (solo, Pendulum), Taku Hirano (Dr. Dre, The Temptations, Lionel Richie), Danny Gottlieb (Pat Metheny, Sting, John McLaughlin), Emil Richards (Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra), Nir Nakav (Salem), Andrew McAuley and Aaron Edgar.
