"Black Swamp creates instruments that allow me to play the repertoire the way I want it to sound. I can match exactly the right instrument to the musical situation. For all the tambourines, castanets, and snares, on behalf of Bizet, Berlioz, and Britten, bravo Black Swamp!"
Doug Howard, Principal Percussionist
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra
"I am very impressed with the quality and workmanship of Black Swamp products. The Chromium and Bronze tambourine has become one of my favorite tambourines, and the unique castanet handle system is a great innovation that opens a whole new realm of possibilities for the performer. Keep up the great work!"
John Kasica, Distinguished Percussion Chair
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra
"Bravo - Black Swamp! Thank you for continuing to ask "the player" what sounds they hear and desire, and working with them to produce excellent quality instruments with excellent quality craftsmanship."
Christopher Lamb, Principal Percussionist
New York Philharmonic
"At long last the competetive spirit of America has visited the tambourine industry. Black Swamp brings new blood to the market and offers some refreshing possibilities for percussionists."
Patricia Dash, Percussionist
Chicago Symphony Orchestra
"Black Swamp tambourines, triangles, and castanets are by far the finest that I have ever heard. They sound fantastic and feel great to play. I have been using Black Swamp instruments in the Chicago Symphony -- I only wish they had been available when I was auditioning!"
Gordon Gottlieb
New York City Stage and Studio Percussionist
"I've used your Chromium 25(tm) tambourine on several jingles (it recorded beautifully), live with Ray Charles and Michael Bolton (country, gospel and funk), and with the New York Philharmonic playing Carmina Burana (rolled and articulated passages). In each instance your tambourine behaved like it truly belonged there. Thanks for an instrument that can keep up with my lifestyles."
