Original Black Sabbath drummer to unveil drum art project



Original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward is set to debut a groundbreaking collection of fine art created from rhythm.

A new medium in fine art — rhythm on canvas — Ward will unveil his work on August 1.

To learn more and see the collection before the release, visit BillWardDrumArt.com.

Ward has provided few details at this point, but the project sounds reminiscent of one debuted by Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen earlier this year.

Allen unveiled his fine-art collection, "Electric Hand: Rhythm + Change," when the band was settling in for their "VIVA! Hysteria" spring residency in Las Vegas.

Check out details about Allen’s project here and here.

As for Ward, he declined to participate in the Black Sabbath reunion tour and album “13,” over a contractual dispute. The group recorded with Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine, while Ozzy Osbourne’s solo drummer, Tommy Clufetos, has been handling live dates.
