SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

 "THUMPER'S" NEW MYSPACE! www.myspace.com/thumpercustomdrums

Thumper has now launched a new web site in conjuction with Thumper Custom Drums! StudioDrums.com will serve as Thumper's informational and educational studio drum site. We will focus on engineers' and players' feed-back on the performance of our products in the studio realm. Also there is invaluable advice & tips for your recording experience. We'll be featuring Radio Star Studios-Weed,CA, Stout Recording Studio-Oakland,CA, Zilla Studios-San Bruno,CA, Whiskey Ridge Recording-Everett,WA, and other studios that will jump on the band-wagon once they see what we are trying to accomplish. John feels that knowing your drum product and how it performs in the studio is one of the most important things in todays drumming and that if you can nail it in the studio, you can nail it anywhere!
Now offering any color powder coating on any hardware!

We now can get Rocken Wraps! Scott Rockenfield can work out just about any design you may dream up for a wrap for your drum(s) on his computer. He also has different "fades" (much more reasonable than the expensive paint jobs!). And we are working on having him duplicate some discontinued wraps.

Maklak (Mike Perkins) "Underground Understanding Tour" West Coast 09' press release:

MAKLAK "Undergound Understanding Tour" West Coast Fall 09'

With the constant reminder of a struggling economy it's a pleasant surprise to see Seattle based independent solo artist (with live support) "Maklak" is hitting the road on a "DIY" style tour of the west coast this fall. In 1997 Michael Perkins,"in order to find true self-expression", started writing and recording his own music in his parents garage and playing every instrument, naming the project Maklak. With extreme passion and dedication from an early age; Michael is a young man with the wisdom and experience. Besides teaching himself over 9 instruments, he also developed a unique writing style with strong dynamics and hard shifts in timing. By the age of 18 he had already: recorded 3 studio albums, played/booked/setup hundreds of concerts including one tour, received press and radio exposure, and much more. Nearing the rise of Maklak from a side-project to a full fledged act, Michael continued to push himself in every direction including: starting a successful music teaching business, getting endorsed by drum company "Thumper Custom drums", co-founding an indie label, opening for HR (Bad Brains), and even getting his name in the Guinness book of world records! After 13 years since the spawning of Maklak, Michael is vulnerably unleashing himself on the music scene in fierce way..."spreading the message of understanding through the medium of rock music", as he calls it. Maklak just finished the Northwest leg of his "Underground Understanding" tour, and is poised to go further on a full West coast tour of the US this fall. Waiting for him back in Seattle is studio time with legendary producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden) for first official debut album to be released. With Micheal and his live band's entertaining and high-energy performances; music fan's will want to check the band's tour schedule to see when Maklak will be stopping by your town!
