Beau and Kristen Littles stopped by the shop for a visit. Among other things, they run a rescue in Florida, and brought Crystal. Crystal is a 3 year old racoon that lost the use of her limbs very early in life. She’s very much a member of her big hearted family. I’m continually amazed how our drumming community brings great people into our lives.

Just finished upgrading the skins on these Moperc bongos for a customer to Middle Eastern Steer– 1mm on the macho, 1.6mm on the hembra. The lugs on these were long enough to mount the skins without using mounting lugs.
