Percussion Instrument Resources

Pioneer Valley Imports: Wonderful folks who are the exclusive North American importers of Schlagwerk Percussion Instruments. Absolutely incredible line of German made percussion instruments. A wide variety of Cajons. Both Peruvian (Conga like sounds. Round and Mellow textures) as well as Spanish (Snare Texture with Crisp Highs and Low Full Bodied Bass as well as nice musical Mid-Range tones. Used for Flamenco Style Music) They even have a dual Cajon with both instruments in one. Schlagwerk has also a series of slit drums including one called the Big Bom which is used in therapeutic applications since an adult can lie on the side of the drum while the drum is played. Truly incredible sound. Hits you deep and moves the soul. Check out the videos posted on my site to hear the musical examples I created to help promote these wonderful instruments.
