Littles Stopped By The Shop

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.

Moperc Bongos

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.
