	Sandin Wilson		Sandin Wilson's electric, fretless bass and vocal work have been heard all over the Pacific Northwest, and around the world. From his days with pop/rock chart busting Geffen/CBS/Sony recording artists Quarterflash, Atlantic recording artists Nushooz, jazz fusion guitarist Cal Scott, funkster Calvin Walker Band, and several highly acclaimed CDs with Narada recording artist Michael Gettle, it's obvious this versatile musician has his basses covered.

	Peter Eldridge		The 'perennially classy' (JazzTimes) Peter Eldridge 'belongs in the celebrated tradition of melodic poets, most famously represented by such disparate voices as Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Van Morrison, and Steely Dan: singer/songwriters who create catchy, beautiful tunes with insightful lyrics that are both personal and universal' (allmusicguide.com). Peter continues to combine the many facets of his talents into an eclectic mix of composing, performing, recording, and teaching (Manhattan School of Music, Jazz Voice Faculty).


			At Drum Workshop, The Drummer’s Choice® is more than a slogan, it’s a fact. After more than thirty years of innovation and tireless dedication to improving the way drum products are made, DW drums, pedals and hardware are the standard by which all others are measured. To get here, it takes more than a working knowledge of the instrument or a few good ideas; it takes a true passion for designing and manufacturing the very best.

			Dave Peterson started building drums in 1976. His first drum ever made was a marching drum. Dave's original company, Marching Music Ltd.-APT (Advanced Percussion Technology), was officially chartered in 1976, and sold in 1997. Mr. Peterson was contracted as a supplier of marching hardware and as a marching products consultant to the Slingerland Drum Company in Niles Illinois in 1980. In 1989, Dave was contracted by HSS marketing to produce Slingerland marching percussion and accessories, plus other vintage and classic reproductions produced in Dave's southern Illinois production plant (Advanced Percussion Technologies). HSS was the worldwide distributor of Slingerland products through an exclusive licensing agreement with Fred Gretch until 1992 when the Slingerland brand name was sold to the Gibson Corporation. Other brands built in the Advanced Percussion Technologies were:
