Innovative Percussion
The early roots of Innovative Percussion are based in Nashville Tennessee where the company resides today. Two university percussion majors began making their own mallets when the marketplace could not fulfill their needs. This mallet making skill blossomed over the years into today's Innovative Percussion. The products produced are renowned for the high build quality and diverse lines to meet the needs of percussionists from all walks of life.
SABIAN
Knowing that passion and understanding the joy of playing is one of the many parts of what makes SABIAN different. The energy that our craftspeople put into each cymbal is part of what makes each of our cymbals unique. That quality helps to define your sound, your creative expression, your voice.
Malletech
Malletech is not only the most creative keyboard percussion instrument manufacturer in the world, it is the only one owned and operated by a concertizing marimbist. This simple fact is fundamental to our success. Using input from other world renowned artists who perform on Malletech, Leigh oversees Malletech’s engineering staff and manages every detail of the design of the products. That not only makes us different, it makes us Malletech.
