Looper Of The Month
Boomerang:
Hi Ben, thank you for joining us today!
Ben:
Thanks! I'm crazy busy but I wanted to make time for this amazing opportunity. I gig almost 7 days a week but I wanted to make time you.
Boomerang:
Our readers would love to hear how you became part of the Boomerang family. Let's dive right in!
Ben:
I'm all ears.
Boomerang:
First off, does your Mom know you're here and did she sign your permission slip?
Ben:
Have you seen my mom???
Boomerang:
Haha... First question, where in the world is your coffee table and did you buy at IKEA?
Ben:
My coffee table resides in San Diego and it's on its last leg. Bought it at a thrift store 'cause I'm super cheap.
Boomerang:
What style of music do you play?
Ben:
Island Kine Reggae
Boomerang:
When did you first start looping and how did you come across it for the first time?
Ben:
I bought my first looper back in 2009 and it was a piece of El Toro Pupu! So I sold it. Years later I watched an awesome musician use an Akai looper and he made it look easy. I decided to give it another try.
Boomerang:
How did you hear about the Boomerang Looper and end up buying one?
Ben:
I went through 4 other loopers before I discovered the Boomerang on Youtube. I bit the bullet, ordered it and never looked back. Since then I've inspired all my buddies to get one as well.
Boomerang:
What's your favorite feature about the Boomerang?
Ben:
It's so easy to use and has features no other looper has. Such as four separate bonus features that you can use all at the same time.
Boomerang:
What's the best reaction you've ever got using your Boomerang at a gig?
Ben:
Another musician walked up to me during one of my gigs and said "bro your tracks are badass. Where did you buy them?" I said "I'm not using pre-recorded tracks. I'm creating all parts of the band right in front of you. Watch!" His jaw hit the floor.
Boomerang:
What's the worst gig you ever had and all the things that went wrong?
Ben:
I played for a dog retail store and there was dog doodoo everywhere. One of the dogs peed on my speaker.
Boomerang:
Oh man, that's so nasty!
How many gigs did it take before your Boomerang became a FREE pedal?
Ben:
I stole it! Haha... It was free as soon as I grabbed it. Poor old lady never knew what happened. Just kidding! Actually it paid for itself after two gigs.
Boomerang:
Lastly, what's your best ice cream story?
Ben:
Me and my ex-girlfriend got crazy, had a food fight and ended up licking ice cream off each other's faces.
Boomerang:
Thank you so much for joining us today. It was a pleasure having you here.
Ben:
Dude, it was super fun! I'm gonna go ride my motorcycle now along the coast and enjoy the sun. Peace Out Boomerang!
