| ThunderHeart Drums offers a blending of traditional design and contemporary
craftsmanship. Each drum has been thoroughly researched to be faithful to the cultural tradition from which it has emerged; then, where appropriate, modern materials and techniques have been applied to make a better sounding, versatile and trouble-free drum. All the drums are finished both inside and out with a custom blended oil finish and are fitted with a superior quality goatskin head. My life path has been varied and exciting: a conservatory education in music, a period of adventuring, followed by years of designing and building in wood, have led me finally to my vocation as a drummaker. |
| I am also the President of The Baltimore International Rhythm and Drumming Society, Inc. - an organization devoted to promoting all types of expression through percussion and percussion-based music. | ![]() |
In 1997, our Third Annual Rhythm Festival, held here in Baltimore, headlined
The Master Himself: Babatunde Olatunji! That's me, introducing Olatunji to the crowd. |
| All the drums I sell are made entirely by myself. I have no helpers,
apprentices, agents or sales people, nor do I want them! - But I do want you to be happy
with my drums. I stand behind the materials and workmanship in each one. |
