NEWS- January 2009
Hal Leonard Signs Deal with DrumFun
Leading Print Publisher to Exclusively Distribute Innovative Turn It
Up and Lay It Down Play-Along CDs

MILWAUKEE - Hal Leonard Senior VP of Sales Doug Lady and DrumFun
President Spencer Strand have reached an agreement for Hal Leonard to
exclusively distribute Strand's popular Turn It Up and Lay It Down
line of play-along CDs for drummers. The deal went into effect on
January 1st and covers all trades, worldwide. The Nashville- based
company had previously self-distributed its products.

Turn It Up and Lay It Down CDs give drummers of all skill levels
top-notch tools for learning how to become well-rounded, successful
musicians. Playing along with bass lines and music-minus-drums backing
tracks helps them develop the key qualities of working drummers and
create their own distinctive style and sound, all while having fun
playing.

Endorsed by prestigious institutions including Berklee College of
Music, the Drummers Collective and Percussion Institute of Technology,
the series covers a wide range of musical styles, from rock, funk and
jazz to Latin, Afro-Cuban and heavy metal. Hal Leonard will initially
distribute the nine volumes currently available, and subsequent Turn
It Up and Lay It Down releases.

Strand comments, "We believe that there are few feelings in life that
can compare to the rush one gets from drumming, whether onstage, in
the studio, or just 'in the zone' in your own practice space. Our
partnership with Hal Leonard will expose our products to a
substantially larger customer base. We're eager and excited to bring
joy and fulfillment to drummers around the world."

Lady states, "Spence parlayed his personal passion for drumming into a
series that has earned a devoted following in the drum community. Turn
It Up and Lay It Down is a welcome addition to our catalog. These CDs
will dovetail nicely with our own Drum Play- Along book/CD packs and
other publications for drummers."

Turn It Up and Lay It Down CDs are packaged in jewel cases and retail
for $12.95. Descriptions of each title are online. For more
