Drumslinger Percussion is back! Get some!

Some of you know that I have a special place in my heart for Drumslinger Percussion. 

Bill Olson makes some really excellent practice pads for the serious drummer right here in the USA.

There were delays during the pandemic as Bill had to deal with the devastating loss of a family member, and then came down with a serious illness himself. Orders fell behind and consumers complained, and Drumslinger’s reputation suffered.

Then, last year, Bill was well enough to get back to work. 

He filled as many backorders as he could, gave refunds to those who had lost patience, and began making new pads.

Unlike another pad company which shall not be named here, he did not skip town or hire a lawyer. He simply got back to work.

At this point, Drumslinger is no longer offering tenor pads. However, they are offering standard snare drum pads for different applications of concert and marching percussion, as well as a more affordable student series that has the same high standard of excellence.

If you haven’t tried a Drumslinger pad, this is a great time to consider doing so. Drumslinger has ready-to-play pads available on their web site and they will ship within a couple of days after ordering. These pads are reasonably priced for what they are, and when compared to other, similarly designed pads on the market.

It’s great that Bill is well enough to return to making pads. But he’s not a young man and this won’t go on forever. So if you’ve been thinking about getting a Drumslinger pad this might be the time to do so.

(Note: I was not asked to write this post, and I am not an official endorser of Drumslinger pads. I just like them a lot.)
