The infamous Aztec Drum. These little beauties give such a great tone. These particular ones are not made by the same maker as the one Xavier plays but is essentially the same instrument. They come in a range of keys and can be purchased on our percussion page. |

Xavier was in the shop a little while back getting himself a drum and another didge... This is the style he went for. A 10" Mahogany. Nice little drums. Good for travel and I think Xavier must do more in a month than a lot would do in a lifetime. The story goes on...
After Xavier left the shop I had to go straight into a drumming lesson, and left his drum at the counter to be sent down to Vic.along with his didge. I then left after the workshop and came in late the next day, only to find my business partner had sold the drum that morning to another customer. (no way!! ) So we are still chasing the drum hey. If you know anyone who buy one of these drums from our store on 7/5/04 then we would give any drum in the shop to get it back. ...
What are the odds really. ?!!of this happening to Xavier of all customers. . . If you do order one we will make great efforts to not repeat this.. . Promise! :) So these drums are available on our drums page. |

Never saw Xavier playing these ones but he did say he had a pair just like them, and got us to make up a stand to help mount them to his stage set up... Cool little bongo's. Tiny little things. The heads are only 4" + 5". Get a good sound out of them though. So you can get these from you guessed it ,.. the drum page |

Xavier plays didge too apparently. He has purchased one from us, and it was a nice didge. Bit hard to sell online though. If you are keen on getting a didge give us a call and we can give you a run down on what we have and what they are worth. |
