Hi

salut ;)

j'ai visite ton site and I found it very interesting.

Laurent Lamy also put a link to your site on his blog.

You are the next Delaporte... he he

If you send me a set, I will promote your drums in the south of France. :cool:

Salut B,

Je travail en effet un peu comme Delaporte travaillait avant (pour les connaisseurs !!!) Du bon tambour artisanal !!!
Je te remercie de ta proposition de promotion dans le sud mais je ne donne pas d'intruments.
Peut être un jour si j'en fait un business internationnal, je pourrai endorser des musiciens.... mais pas avant !!!

KKonga and CongaTick, it's my dream to make a business. For the moment, I think of it.

For the sound it's not great on the myspace video but in truth, they sound really really great !!!

Congalou.

Hi

the endorsment was "almost" a joke...

you do not have much competition.. I hope your dream will come true.

By the way, where do you live? Maybe we could meet?

I'd be very interested in bull skins as well...anybody else here ever played on them and can tell us what they're like? Right now I'm a mule skin man but I'm always lookin to experiment with new ones.

congalou, let me know if you sell the skins only, I'd like to place an order.

Thanks

Hello JC !
I'm used oak wood and bull skin, or cow skin. It depends of the drum and what's the drummer like : heavy, medium or dry.

Hello Franc, you're right, the mule skin is very good, but a top quality bull skin is very good too !! Depends of what you prefer.

RythmiK entertainment, I have bull skin on ebay.fr if you want to see.
