What Kevin Soffera Says About Groove Juice

I have been using Groove Juice cymbal cleaner for over 10 years now before I became an endorser because I believe in the product. I personally used it on my gear as well as all my drum techs while on tour with Seether, Breaking Benjamin and Greg Howe as well as others. It was a go to product prior to all TV performances I did which made a huge difference on live TV. It’s funny, whenever I use Groove Juice now on my Sabians, I always get a comment from someone complimenting me on my new cymbals even though they are not new…..pretty awesome. Thank you GJ

Artist Quotes About Chris Ralles

Here are some quotes from a few artists Chris has had the pleasure of working with:

“Chris Ralles is one of those rare combinations of a great guy and great talent. He has the musical sophistication to be able to morph into whatever style of drumming I might need to feel for each song, a particularly challenging request on my gig, as I range from R&B to Country to straight ahead rock within a two hour show.” – Kenny Loggins

“Chris is a gifted player, with an innate sensibility for working with songwriters. His playing is dynamic, and stylistically unique, but he has a 6th sense for playing exactly what the song needs. A rare talent, reminiscent of my friend, the late, great Jeff Porcaro.” – Christopher Cross

“Chris Ralles puts the song first. He’s a great drummer who has the chops to take over the stage but he’d always rather serve the ensemble than his own ego. The huge bonus for musicians who tour with him is that he’s like that offstage as well.” – Maia Sharp

With so much musical experience behind him, Chris looks forward to the future, as a believer that his greatest musical accomplishments are still to come
