On the Beat With Matt Thompson of King Diamond: Mayhem Festival Dates

Matt Thompson of King Diamond

Hi! Matt Thompson from King Diamond here, and I’m very happy to be part of MD online! I’m happy to say that we are part of Mayhem this year, along with Slayer, Hellyeah, Whitechapel, and a bunch more, whom I’m eager to see and hear.

I’m very much looking forward to bringing King Diamond’s music to a whole different audience as well as to King’s old-school fans. I’ll be playing my new Tama Starclassic maple kit that I used on the USA Fall ’14 tour, with a slightly altered cymbal setup. I’ll be using more Paiste Rude cymbals; I’m currently in a love affair with them. There are twenty-six dates, so I’ll get to watch Vinny Paul and Paul Bostaph twenty-six times! Excellent! Cheers.
