Why should you purchase a drum from me?
Also check what my customers say...
- I've been building drums for ten plus years.
Beginning with hoop drums over ten years ago I've learned all I can
about hand drums of all kinds from experts all over the country. Traveling
and exhibiting at fairs and festivals has helped me meet a broad range
of builders and players of all types!
- I play drums.
I've been playing just as long and know what drums should sound like!
- I perform on the Djembe.
I play with the West African Percussion Society in Eau Claire , WI.
You don't want to be embarrassed by your drum when performing!
- I teach Hand Drumming.
I am the staff advisor for the UW Stout Hand drumming Club in Menomonie,
Wi and offer percussion and instrument building workshops to school kids
around the state. I recommend drums for people even if I don't make
them!
- I have a commitment to craftsmanship.
I have been an exhibiting craftsman in ceramics on a national level for
twenty years. This means paying attention to the esthetics, design details,
and the functionality of products!
- I get the best quality imports.
I have built relations with some of the largest and most reliable quality
importers from Africa to Pakistan. If one source disappears, I have several
backups for quality instruments.
- I guarantee every drum I sell.
If you are unsatisfied for any reason, return within ten days
for a full refund!
- I can send you references.
I have references for all aspects of my work. Quality, value, reliability,
and design in products and with my business practices.
- I love good sound!
With all my experience teaching and playing, I've found a quality instrument
is the most important tool for a beginner. Quality need not mean expensive,
but certainly a good value in what you buy!
It is hard enough to learn to create clear sounds on a responsive instrument,
why struggle on a just "decorative tourist" drum?

I've been acting more and more these days as a consultant.
Besides the more than fifty drums I have on hand most all the time, I can
help you find the right drum for you. Just start a dialog with me discussing
