I’ve been fortunate over the years to amass a great sounding collection of drums & cymbals. I know first-hand how frustrating it can be to travel for performances only to encounter less-than-adequate backline gear. If you are a drummer, bandleader, producer or promoter residing in - or passing through western NY - with a need for great quality equipment for use in studio or live, please reach out for a quote!
Past & upcoming clients include: Eric Harland, Billy Kilson, Donald Edwards, Brian Blade, Henry Cole, Corey Fonville, Matt Wilson, Rudy Royston, Louis Moutin, Rich Thompson, Cornell University, SUNY Geneseo, Opus Ithaca Community Music School.
