Strengthening a percussion portfolio that already includes Gibraltar, Latin Percussion, Remo, Toca, Vater and Vic Firth, KMC Music recently announced that it has been appointed to serve as the sole U.S. distribution partner of Paiste America, which produces renowned lines of cymbals, hand cymbals and gongs, including the iconic Paiste 2002 Series and the highly respected Paiste Signature Series. KMC Music Vice President of Merchandising Roger Hart reflected on the announcement, saying, “The addition of Paiste to our already-extensive percussion portfolio reinforces our position as the MI retailer’s only true one-stop source for all of their percussion needs.” He continued, “We are proud to be able to offer our customers the cymbals used by artists that include Stewart Copeland, Nicko McBrain, Ian Paice and Alex Van Halen, among many, many others.”
This news follows several weeks of major announcements from a resurgent KMC Music. Back in June, KMC announced that it has been appointed to serve as the U.S. distributor of Keeley Pedals, Mono Bags, Mooer Pedals, Pigtronix Pedals, RCF professional audio products and Suzuki Harmonicas. Then, only a few days later, KMC announced the news of Absara Audio LLC having appointed the company as the exclusive U.S. distributor of Supro amplifiers.
“No one is more focused on meeting the needs of MI dealers than KMC Music,” Hart noted. “The addition of these great lines to our product portfolio underscores the fact that our manufacturer partners understand that our ability to serve dealers as a complete solutions resource is unmatched by any other company.” He added, “They understand that we can meet the needs of our dealers better than anyone else. Even more importantly, our valued retail partners can now order even more solutions from a single source: KMC Music!”
