I am new to this blogging thing and pretty new to Etsy. So far I have had a ton of fun meeting new people and making a couple sales here and there. There are a couple of other people I have found on Etsy that also sell drums but I am pretty unique as far as the style of drum I make and the small details that personalize my drums and make them one of a kind.
One example of this is the fact that much of the wood I use is recycled hardwood flooring. When people ask where I get this I tell them the magical recycled hardwood flooring store. The truth is I have made contacts through which I can purchase the wood and I am always on the lookout for piles of wood, construction sites, ads on craigslist and yes ....I am not afraid to admit it....dumpsters.
Another way my drums are a little different is the fact that I sometimes head them with tie dyed drum skins. When people ask me about this, I take joy in telling them the skin is from the very allusive Pacific Northwest Hippie Goat. You would be surprised at how many people just nod in agreement. Makes me smile.
I have been making drums for about ten years now and absolutely love it. I can't imagine doing anything else. So please take a look at my shop and stop back for more adventures in drum building. Thanks for reading.
