Andy Strachan

Andy Strachan and The Living End are with no doubt one of the hardest working bands in Australia. In 2004 the band released a singles collection from the last 7 years titled "From Here On In". Coupled with sell out tours around Australia, Japan and a stadium tour of the States with No Doubt and Blink 182 it is easy to see why they are always a favourite. After years of looking for the right live and studio sound, Andy has finally settled on Pearl's MHX 4 ply Mahogany drums. Finished in Pearls Retrospec colour Red Onyx and coupled with black fittings this kit needs to be seen and heard to be believed.
