Thrilled to support D’Addario & Evans

The Killdares — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:27:06 +0000

Today we are thrilled to announce that we have entered into an agreement with D’Addario & Co. This is a huge honor for the band, as the D’Addario company houses multiple brands that we have been playing for the past 14 years including: D’Addario guitar strings, D’Addario bowed strings and Evans drumheads. Not to mention Pro Mark drumsticks and Planet Waves cables. When asked “Why D’Addario?” Tim said, “D’Addario products continue to be unmatched in tone, consistancy and longevity. From electric guitar strings, to the Helicore fiddle strings, to Evans drumheads…our instruments sound the best when played with D’Addario.” We now join an elite family of artists including The Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, Foster The People, Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow. Thanks D’Addario for supporting The Killdares while out on tour!

Tim Joins the SilverFox Family

The Killdares — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:38:44 +0000

Today we are proud to announce that our own KD frontman/drummer/lead singer Tim Smith has entered into an agreement with SilverFox drumsticks. Since 1982, SilverFox sticks have outperformed competitors in balance, finish, and durability. And in spite of manufacturing for over 23 years, SilverFox is still one of the best kept secrets in the music industry. With as much touring as we do, Tim needed a stick that was not only comfortable, but also “hits harder and lasted longer” just like the company’s slogan states. And he found that with SilverFox. We are proud to endorse SilverFox and welcome them into our family of tour support products.
