Thumper Custom Drums

A True Custom Drum Builder

About Me

John Jones, Drumsmith and founder of Thumper Custom Drums, has been a working drummer for over 35 years. John designs, builds and refurbishes drums for the "working drummer". He is known throughout the San Francisco Bay area's & The Seattle,WA area's fine music stores and drum shops. Recording engineers love him & want to marry him...his drums bring to the studios EXACTLY what they want to hear. Drummers who have a one-of-a-kind snare or a dream kit in mind can come to "Thumper". With all that is available to him, he will achieve what your mind envisions & your imagination longs to hear...your own sound or the sound of your favorite drummer. He has two web sites where you can have the "Thumper" experience, see his creations & hear from drummers & engineers.

My Interests

John at "Thumper" has always been interested in what makes a drum do what it should. His goal as a drumsmith has been to provide quality drum gear at an affordble price for the "working" drummer.

I'd like to meet:

John would love to meet serious drummers who know what they want...And know good quality, high-end drums when they hear them. Are you as passionate about your drums as he is building them for you? And he'd like to meet any drummers who have an existing drum or kit that they want to keep or sell that just doesn't perform the way it should or needs a face-lift...he can fix that.
