About Me

BREAKING NEWS:


Welcome to the MySpace page of Chris Brady I have been handcrafting snare drums and drumkits from unique Australian hardwoods for almost 30 years now. I'm honoured by the level of acceptance and respect my instruments have found in the industry, and I'm deeply humbled by the volume and calibre of drummers that have chosen to purchase one of my creations.
12/2006 - Apologies to all of you who have sent me mail through MySpace and are yet to receive a response. I literally hear from hundreds of drummers every month. Please email me at [email protected] if you still haven't heard back after a while. Unfortunately I only have two hands!
Many exciting new ventures are on the horizon. Stay tuned.
Please bare with me as I continue to update this page.
