Hey Doc,
Wow!!!!!! Doc you were right on with the B&B. What a tone!! So sweet, and the Beast...I tried that on my acoustic for some Robert Johnson stuff. Whoa!
I tried it on my Strat clean 1st then with my Chandler Tube driver. Holy..........! Nasty Funky Gritty Blues. This could scare people. Nice...and the Swamp Frog. Now I know the difference between real glass and that Pyrex stuff. Wow!
Thank you so much for the other slide. You didn't have to do that. But man am I glad you did. What a tone. I'm not sure what it is but it is cool.
I love it. I feel like a little kid at Christmas. P.S. I still Love my original Black Shavano. You Da Man Dude!
Thank you so much for making premium quality slides. I love when someone puts their heart and soul into their work. It makes all the difference.
Thank you again, Rob...Time to wake up the neighbors!
William Craven:
Hey Doc,
I got your slides a week or two ago and have been playing with them ever since. What great tone! Your slides are much lighter than the metal I'm used to and the vibrato is much easier. I've played about 5 shows with the rockit. The other slides you sent are nice but this will be my workhorse.
Thanks, BJ
Michael Kesselring:
Hey Doc,
Letting ya know that I used your slides at the last Columbus Blues Alliance gig. I passed on a Mojo Green and a Hellhound Red along to two different slide players. The first player I passed along was a 17 year old named Jack... Didn't catch his last name, he was just starting out, and used Dunlop Pyrex...Ugh!!!! I had to give him one!
The second slide player was pretty damn good. He is in a band called the Damn Right! Band... His name is Bill Lewandowski. He used the slide on two slides, and he fell in love with it. I told him to drop you a line, I don't know if he did, but if he didn't, drop him one. Trust me, this guy is good. Plus, he could help spread the word a bit.
Oh by the way, In the International Blues Challenge Program Biography of myself, I put "...Micah is endorsed by Rocky Mountain Slide Company..." Just thought that would help you out. That program is seen by thousands of people in Memphis, TN.
Thanks Doc, Micah
David McHale:
I just wanted to let you know how much I love my new Blues Boy slide. Both my wife and the lead singer in my band commented on much they liked my tone (your slide and a Les Paul straight into a Dr Z Maz 38) - the lead singer said it made the hair on the back of her neck stand up (in a good way!). I'd always used a bronze Rock Slide before this, as I never cared for the tone of the other slides I'd tried (glass, medicine bottles, the Dunlop metal ones), but the tone of your ceramic slide was amazing - raunchier, and less hi-fi, and, as it is much lighter, makes getting around on the fret board that much easier.
Thanks for such an awesome product. I'll be ordering more, and letting other people know about 'em too!
There was a discussion over on the Gear Page about slide preferences a few days back, and a couple folks mention your slides (including me, of course - I made sure to include a link to your website, too) - maybe a couple of the orders are people who saw that - that would be cool.
Got the package today (talk about fast! I guess that's a benefit of living in the same state). The slides are amazing - I already had a blue one, and the red and black are just gorgeous - everyone is going to love them. And that was above and beyond, sending those extra slides - you didn't have to do that! However, I'm not gonna be greedy (as they are beautiful) - I'm gonna make sure they get into other guitar playing hands. And after playing for a while, I can't decide which of the raw slides I like better - they both have such different tone. I really wouldn't have thought that the thickness would make that huge of a difference, but it really does. And then I go back to my blue glazed blues boy. Such tones!
Anyway, thanks again! It's really been a pleasure working with you!
Joel Mowers:
Got 'em!
Wow, what tone. The glazed surfaces ring wonderfully on my 1930 National. The raw surfaces are going to take some testing, but have potential for totally different sounds.
Will let u know what i come up with.
Thanks, j
Chris Hedges:
Hey there Doc,
Man, you have just blown me away. You have no idea,(or you probably do) how rare it is to deal with someone who not only puts the customer first, but also shows genuine interest. I thank you for that. The package you put together is awesome. Now, regarding "spreading the word about RMS". I dare anyone to try and stop me.
You may not be familiar with any of my records, probably cause I don't have any. (Who knows, maybe one day? But at 56, time's getting a little tight.) However, because Alberta is a really big chunk of land, with a lot of little towns, small cities, I play in about a 600 mile radius of my home, with a lot of different people. Your slides will all travel with me, so they will get seen by a lot of people, and if they're nice I'll let them try 'em.
Summer is especially big...Lots of Canadians and Europeans...bottom line my friend (hope I can call you that), is that I will cheerfully do everything I can to promote RMS. Well now, I guess that's about it for now. Just wanted to let you know that all your help has really been appreciated. And, as this is just the beginning, I'll say Next time, Thanks Chris
Alex Tuchci:
Hey Doc,
i wanted to wait until i had given your products a full run through before I replied back to you. I have fallen in love with your slides!!! In particular the Hellhound Red and Voodoo black slides. The green and blue are amazing as well, but the red sings just a tad brighter to me. I have used your slides in a number of shows and cannot imagine using another slide again.
In fact, a few times in practice I will pull out one of my old glass or ceramic slides, but I can't even make it through a full solo without discarding it and picking up one of your slides! Thanks for the great product!
Norm Arnett:
Hi Doc,
Still using both slides on a regular basis. The voodoo is amazing with my Tele. It has been great to have both of these slides. I stilll am amazed at the difference in sound and timbre from the two.

Dave Gunders:
Hi Doc, my name is Dave Gunders and I was introduced to your ceramic slides through Bob Pelligrino. He have me one and it's my number one choice when I grab for a slide. Mostly I use it for my Martin 0028. It's got a pure tone that I love. I had always thought, you know, slide is slide. But my brass slide now sounds scratchy. And glass always felt too light and delicate. So you've got a convert here. Also, I sure would like a couple more in different colors. Good luck, you've got a great product. Thank you, Dave.
Alice Stuart:
I LOVE these new slides. B fits me like the proverbial glove and will be best for electric playing. C is okay too depending on how sweaty my hands are. A is too big. I do use the slide on my little finger; that’s why having one that’s thicker sounds so much better. I am going to use the hell out of these slides. I’m really excited about it, actually!!
Susan Werner:
i love em all - they all have so much warmth and feeling in em, not that shrill metal sound. and not the sound of other ceramic slides either - it's like you can hear the earth, the clay, in these lil babies. i swear, if people played these first, before all other slides, they'd play slide the rest of their lives.
