MARLA'S
DRUMMING PRODUCTS:
 
  • NEW MARLA LEIGH SIGNATURE FRAME DRUM !!
    Working closely with Cooperman Drum Company, Marla designed a drum that offers both introductory and advanced players a drum that is easy to hand and provides effortless access to a variety of playing styles. The shallow depth (3.25 cm) and mid-siz (16" diameter) and cherry frame is expressive while being light in weight.  The icing on the cake (or the drum) is that Marla is working with henna artist Ahava Jacobson to create a beautiful, original henna design to be put on the head of the drum.  More info

     Available May 2008 !!
