Hello Drumming friends.

Over the years of gigging and teaching I’ve gathered many fine instruments, some of which now need to go to other people who can use and love them.  These instruments have been my friends and now I’m lightening up on the duplicates and things I’m not using.  This is all high quality gear that has sustained and uplifted me and others for over 40 years.

"Good poetry makes the universe admit a secret:  'I am really just a tambourine.

 Grab hold, play me against your warm thigh."   - Hafiz

Drumsound rises on the air, its throb, my heart. A voice inside the beat says, 

"I know you're tired, but come.  This is  the way."  - Rumi

So much gear, my wife told me we (I) don't need anything yet my garage instrument storage is no where close to being full. Haha.

I love the endless stories these instruments have been witness to.  

Are you looking for local pickup only or are you willing to ship?

I can let a few folks down her in SoCal know you are trimming down.
