Sambomaster
Electro-Voice is pleased to welcome Japanese rock band and Sony Music Japan recording artists Sambomaster to its family of endorsers.
Sambomaster has developed a worldwide following since releasing its major-label debut in 2003, and continues to rise with hit records and sell-out tours. Sambomaster’s unique, highly dynamic style draws from a wide spectrum of influences, ranging from raw punk power to solid classic rock and jazz. The band relies upon Electro-Voice microphones to sound their best on the road and in the studio, including the following models: N/D967 (lead & backing vocals); Raven (toms & drum vocals); N/D868 (kic drum & bass amp); N/D478 (snare & guitar amp); RE200 (hi-hat & overheads)
