Hi-Beam™
Stainless Steel Round Core Bass Strings
Model: 4-String Custom & 6-String Custom
Hi-Beam™ stainless steel bass strings are round wound and constructed on a round core which is unique in the industry. Hi-Beams require much more time, care and extra steps to make than other bass strings. The extra effort DR expends making Hi-Beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible and musically but not harshly bright. They are renowned for durability, unusually long life, consistency and string-to-string balance. They don’t eat your frets. Hi-Beams are the string to choose for brightness, punch and ease of playing. Hi-Beam bass strings require much more time, care and extra steps to make than other bass strings.
BIO
Born in Mazatlan, Mexico, Kello Gonzalez is a multifaceted musician who, from his first steps as a bassist, began fully in his search for the infinite possibilities on the instrument. His peculiar technique (influenced by non-conventional bassists such as: Cliff Burton, Les Claypool and Geddy Lee) has taken him to explore styles ranging from post-grunge, jazz, metal, to complete sound experimentation and progressive music. Kello has a YouTube channel where he periodically uploads content centered around the electric bass (technique, sound, equipment), with videos totaling close to 12 million views. Kello has also worked as session player with various musicians and figures in Mexico and internationally; such as Akira Yamaoka in the release party of a new video game in the framework of E3 2016 in Los Angeles; was part of the FreeFire Rampage promo single launched July 2020 along with Matt Heafy (Trivium) and other international artists; as well as in studio recording, arranging and producing for independent artists in Mexico and Worldwide. Invited to play at the Cliff Burton Museum opening in May 2022 at Ljugnby, Sweeden. Perhaps the story that Kello has created throughout his career is full of many more nuances and collaborations, but none like his current project Parazit, an ultra experimental power trio of capricious forms and tempos. This is where all the possibilities that arise in his head are brought to reality in extravagant and avant-garde ways. In 2024 Kello released his first solo album: "Above The Great Beyond Below", receiving positive reviews. Besides Parazit, Kello is also an active member of the following bands: Nata (Hard Rock) and CRS (Technical Death Metal).
