  • “I’ve had many drums in my life. By far, these drums have gotten the most compliments from other drummers, audio engineers and my bandmates! Once someone heard these drums, they were sold. That is fortunate for me because I am in love! I plan on keeping these drums for a LONG time."

  • "For me, Stack Ring opens up a fresh avenue of creativity. From adding some sauce to a cymbal, or drum, with a chain gate, or crunch ring; To driving home a point, or adding groove to the beat with the Versa stack, there's so much for everyone to take advantage of, when needed!"

  • "It's Dr. Bob Weathers here, from the West Coast (Newport Beach), writing to share how grateful I am for Tim Roberts' recent contributions to my music-making. (I've led a highly regarded acoustic jazz combo here locally for years.) My appreciation starts with Tim's extraordinary attention to serving his customers: informative, friendly, highly engaged. Though we live a coast apart, all shipments were completed promptly; and no one provides more professional packaging and safe transit of fine cymbals than Tim. (That's coming from someone who has ordered cymbals in the past from all the major U.S. and European suppliers of high-end percussion instruments.) Which brings me to the best of all! Neither I nor my fellow band members could be more pleased with the following, recent acquisitions: 23.75″ Labyrinth Ride, 20.5" Signature Umbrella Ride, 20.5" Signature Flat Ride, 18.5" Duco Effects Crash, and 14" Duco Extra Thin Hats (plus Tim very generously threw in one of his custom steel stacks, as well as a worthy bell cut-out, which I'll be using as an exotic splash). With no disrespect to the top offerings from the major domestic and Turkish manufacturers, as well as other custom cymbalsmiths -- I've owned and played virtually all of them, with gratitude -- Tim's creations stand in a league of their own. All of us drummers have a cymbal sound "in our ears" which is both hard to describe, and harder to find. With Tim's work, I've found that sound/those sounds...and I'll be applying my own signature style to his for years to come. Thanks, Tim...you are, quite simply, the best!"
