I like to think of John Aldridge as a “Drum Jedi Master”.  He is an endless wellspring of drum history, wisdom, experience and creativity.   In this sequel to Part 1, I wanted to share some examples of John’s unique custom works with personal insights from John about their design.  Many of these drums are from my personal collection and are greatly treasured.  It is my hope that drummers will not only appreciate John’s incredible versatility, but also realize that “drum art” can be truly personal.  Drum engraving is not restricted to scrolls and florets!
