Embrace the Process
Creating a successful product doesn’t happen overnight. It takes vision, persistence, patience, and pride in the process. After 30 years, we’ve learned that success isn’t just about making great instruments—it’s about making them better every time.
Martelo Percussion member, Leonardo Gorosito, composed a brand new percussion ensmeble work titled "Pântano" (which translates to "Swamp" in English). This was a gift from the group to Black Swamp Percussion in celebration of our 30th Anniversary! This brand new piece is for triangle, tambourine, castanets, and woodblocks.
The Voices of BSP
Our journey is deeply intertwined with the vibrant community of artists and educators who not only use our instruments but actively contribute to their evolution. These crucial relationships have shaped Black Swamp Percussion over the past 30 years, transforming it from a small operation into a global presence in the percussion world.
