About ErgoSonic® Percussion

Our uniquely shaped and hand crafted drums provide superior sound quality and ease of use. They are the invention of a seasoned Percussionist and Teacher.

The ErgoSonic design allowed for a more fluid motion and the entire line moved much more smoothly. It was great to see the entire battery doing a crab step across the field and not a mix of different strides and body facings.
