Our Farmer DownBeat pedals are works of art. This particular pedal is draped in Lake Michigan Blue and is attached to our 10" Simple Snare (sold separately or as a set). The magnetic repelling spring will never break down and will retain the same buttery-smooth action for the life of the instrument. Add an egg shaker, jingle stick, maraca, etc. It's your paintbrush for making your music! https://www.footdrums.com/product/farmer-downbeat/

Custom BackBeat Rambler with a renaissance flair!

The 18" x 9" Golden Brunette shell is outfitted with Cooperman leather drum ears and a Remo Fiberskyn bass head. Also, we opted to mount the black metal brackets on the inside of the shell to keep to the ren vibes. We're really happy with the results. What do you think?

Here’s what’s happening in the shop this morning - two FootDrums get their finishing touches, a fresh batch of 25 SideNotes is on the workbench (hot seller!), and Pete works the modern facts machine responding to messages and ordering stuff. We’d-nes-day.

Our longtime shop and marketing dude, Michael, puts lugs on this 18” x 4” FootDrum Bass Drum. Man in gray jeans puts lugs on a gray drum. Oh yeah.

We've been deep diving into our Farmer BreakAway Bass Drum series! Now you'll be able to swap out different batter and reso heads to create a variety of size, color, and head combinations.

In addition to using the split bass to easily and efficiently store other drums and equipment, now you can cater the size of your bass to the gig. Small club stage? Go with the 20" x 8". Van Halen-esque sized festival stage? Go all the way to the 20" x 16" for extra oomph!

The Farmer Kids!

George is in high school now, believe it or not, while the twins (Ramona and Lucy) are on the cusp of teenage-dom. Whoa!

The kids have commandeered the shop countless times for play rehearsals and shows, and are often found practicing instruments or doing homework in the studio. Their presence is as essential to Farmer Foot Drums as any person, material, or tool. We're lucky to have 'em.

A note on photo quality: Phone image quality has definitely improved over the years, but also maybe kids have gotten less blurry. Thoughts?
