I had a nice moment recently amidst the swift-moving chaos of my life. My father had taken out his old mortise marking gauge and told me he wanted me to have it. He had used it when he worked at the old Keppel Harbour in his youth: doing electrical work on ships sometimes meant doing a little wood-work on the side apparently. It was dangerous work, and he always shared with me about the many accidents, and how he never wanted me to do “menial work” like he had to. He was chinese educated and had to leave school when he was 15 to work as an electrician’s apprentice. The family needed the money, he said. Somehow, he obtained a diploma in Canada several years later, becoming a teacher in the Institute of Technical Education. To this day, English is his second language, but you can’t really tell when you talk to him. If you ever visit my home now, you will find two workshops: a drum making one, and a clock making one. Most visitors are amused with the clocks and watches of all shapes and sizes filling the walls and shelves. Curiosity, it seems, is the only reason for my father’s continued fascination with all things mechanical and horological. My grandfather, now, he could make an entire chinese orchestra worth of instruments; I grew up being surrounded by all manner of stringed chinese instruments and the many tools of my grandfather’s home workshop. Interestingly, he had taught himself how to make those instruments without being able to play any of them. Pretty amazing. My father, like his brothers, and like his father, were all electricians: Humble, working class folk who did their best to pay the bills but tinkered on passion projects on the side. Perhaps I take after them more than I expected. Well, at least I have a piece of that blue collar tradition in my tool-chest now, ready to use on future drum-making adventures. Hear more stories like these when you come to the workshop. Drop by for great conversation and a cup of coffee.
All our drums have long creation stories. Throwback to 6th Feb 2013: we operated out of a tiny store room and phone cameras really sucked. Makes you wonder what #lifebeforepantheon was like. Thin maple shell, freshly oiled, back in our first workshop. Just one of the many shells we have collected and nurtured over 9 years of operations, now in the hands of @mattraham to serve for many years to come. This is indeed a #vintagepantheon snare. Be part of our ever-growing community and #playpantheon today!

Mikael brought in an oldie but a goodie: Tama’s Simon Philips “Gladiator” signature snare. This snare had languished in storage before being gifted to him, and he wanted to get it up and running as a practice snare in time for school at Berklee. We decided not to scratch up the heavily pitted shell, opting instead to change the hardware for new ones. We put on die-cast hoops, tube lugs, DW throw and butt plate, as well as red snare strap for extra personality. Want to love your drums anew? Bring them in: we know what we’re doing. Often copied, never replicated. #pantheonpercussion #thisissingaporequality #pantheonpercussionfamily #fixerupper #repair #drum #tama
