His dads army background has a lot to do with Tims passion for drums, which along with a legend dating back to the Crimean War, directly inspired this regimental range. Legend has it, a drummer boy who served with the British Armys 77th Regiment of Foot caught his counterpart, a Russian boy trumpeter, gave him a good hiding and captured his instrument. No one knows his name, but our drums look like his would have looked.Every drum is handcrafted with traditional methods and authentic materials including vellum, hand-painted solid wood and leather.
