“I first encountered EPEK drums when I was ‘the drum guy’ at Mother’s Music in Calgary. I was assembling, tuning and playing hundreds of drum kits from every major manufacturer, and when the EPEKs came in, my mind was immediately blown. The quality, craftmanship, and tone of these drums is incomparable...the work of an artisan who takes great pride in his craft. My Phat Trav’ler kit - which I’ve named ‘Phatima’ – has a huge tone, very punchy yet capable of sublime subtlety. And the whole thing fits into my little red hatchback. That’s what I’m talkin’ about.”
