The shop is entering a slammed couple of weeks here. Looking forward to all the crazy work debutting and hearing the crowd roar as the lights hit it.

Thinking back to these absolute units on ‘s XX tour and remembering the first time we fully erected them at rehearsal.

Towards the end of 2025 we blew off the dust on our Drum Circle installation and gave it a big reboot. Out of that revamp came a custom rack that takes in any trigger, light or sound and outputs it back out. Creating a massive interactivity relay system that allows us to put any type of receiver or prop out in the crowd and have it interact with the tools at hand. Technology came a long ways in the last decade, we’re excited to put it to the test.

Say hello to our new toy!! We are so happy to have a spray system in our shop. Hardcoating foam and other sculpt elements just got a whole lot better. Thanks to for hooking us up!

We always have worked with 3D models, whether it’s yours or our own, and processed then with a Frogmill CNC machine. Now we can maximize our ability to protect your sculpts. This polyurea coating is pretty hardcore and thick, while also flame rated for you pyro-leaning creative directors.

Each drum has an animal from the jungle nestled inside. Each little world 3D modeled, printed and painted to then harmonize with its own sound. Look deep, stay curious, and explore!


Check these out at Denver Zoo Lights!

The Drum Circle Installation is back up and running, it’s new brains are kicking it into gear at Zoo Lights! We are so happy to bring this fun interactive back and clear off the dust. We overhauled all the inner workings and have everything networked and talking to each other. This is the very beginning of reintroducing interactivity in our work and what better place than the zoo with all of the public? If you are local, go check it out!

Happy to fold back in and work out some of the brains with us. It has been nearly 10 years since the idea of the Drums was formed!
