We love working with great musicians and supplying the gear they need to bring great music to the stages of Northwest Arkansas. We also love when great musicians are the nicest people. @laurietorres (drummer for @juliajacklin ) was pro on and off stage. Here she is making our 1960’s Slingerland kit sound so good!
