Happy Friday…
Marla Leigh’s Frame Drum Academy will soon be in session, and Eric’s getting happy about building some of our Marla signature Artist Innovation Series drums.
We’ve added Marla’s Hamsa logo to the inside of the Tarocco Moon 20” drum.

special deal on this one..18” bendir.
Available now.

I had made a drum for our friend Nadav back in the winter , but we mounted it with the wrong head material; Nadav said. “ it’s beautiful , but wrong.” I think that’s a wonderful new category of drums - beautiful but wrong.
This one is the first in that series.

18” diameter x 4” depth Cooperman Classic model. with Bendir, snare, strings. REMO Ebony/Black drum head. Cherry wood, stained plum. Maroon cord. price $518.00 Special offer - $475.00 plus shipping

Finished up a set of Asheville Rhythm drums this morning, along with a handful of Cooperman Classic drums, and some Ghavals, one without rings ( which we think of as a Thick Shell Tar “ TST” model drum).
