Being both a drummer and a woodworker I became interested in segment and stave snare drums and in particular how they were constructed, after some research I built a Purpleheart snare drum which gave me the 'drum building bug', this was followed up with a 6 piece Purpleheart kit to go with it and several more snare drums which I then exhibited at the Hollywood Drum Show in 2009, the following year it was onto the NAMM show in Anaheim which I did for for the next several years.

I moved back home to England in 2020 and I now have a new workshop in Marsden, West Yorkshire which is now fully operational and I am ready to build more beautiful handmade drums in gorgeous exotic hardwoods from around the world.
