Many years ago, I made my first drum and shared it with a friend. We started calling it a SlapDrum.
I was encouraged to share these instruments by the musicians who played them. The music industry is rewarding and full of wonderful people.
I have been making music (noise to some) and SlapDrums ever since.
It is ongoing - 'cause it's fun!! But, a long long time ago, I made my first SlapDrum and shared it with a friend, Erik. He records music, plays guitars and drums; Erik has a natural talent for finding the groove.
I brought my first SlapDrum to Erik. After a bit of ribbing and teasing about how "I had made this all by myself" - the typical friend harassment - then he picked up and gave it a slap.
Surprised at the sound, his eyebrows raised, then nodding his head in a slow and approving manner, he said, "Whooa cool!" Then it went to the studio for more recording and I have been making music (noise to some) and SlapDrums ever since.
