About Me

*************************
Wade Chandler - Ongoing recording project since 2001
**Wade is the owner of a company called Chandler Limited. He designs and builds some super sweet - ultra-pro recording gear. They build comps/limiters, some really great pre-amps and they are now building some kick ass mixing and mastering desks. Check them out at ChandlerLimited.com . He is now associated with EMI / Abbey Road.
*************************
I have been playing/using Zildjian Cymbals, Vic Firth Sticks and Drum Workshop Pedals and Hardware for over ten years now. Ask me about any of these companies and I'll tell you how much they kick ass and take names. Period.
