"I remember my first experience with Black Swamp Percussion many moons ago on a composition by John Alfieri: Fanfare for Tambourines. We used a variety of Black Swamp Tambourines, and it was amazing!! From that point on, I knew that BSP would be my go-to for tambourines, triangles, woodblocks, log drums, & so much more!! Black Swamp Percussion Instruments have such precision craftsmanship & sound exceptional!"
