Pantheon Percussion: 7 Years On Social Media, 9+ In Reality
Back when we first started our social media in 2012.
We had already been operating for two years by then, going door to door with two snare drums in tow, trying to convince people of this crazy idea of custom drums, made in Singapore.
Pantheon Percussion: Look Out For This!
Celebrate Singapore’s indie (short for independent) culture at the *SCAPE Music Day Out.
Indie culture has its origins as an alternative form of staying away from the mainstream. Indie music is often produced outside of commercial record labels. This may include an autonomous, do-it-yourself approach to recording and publishing. The indie ideology today inspires a new breed of home-grown creative entrepreneurs. On this day, we honour this identity.
There will be a music showcase, a conference, and various fringe activities. Enjoy music from the likes of @cadencesg, @fingerfunkparty, @pleasantrymusic and @thecolorfractal.
We set the scene, just pop by and chill.

Pantheon Percussion: Concert Toms And Other Orchestral Percussion Coming Up
We’ve had concert toms for years now but we haven’t really marketed them for some reason. Maybe I was too busy with the drum kits. We set these up at Gryd Studio a while back to record some samples.
Available in different woods, sizes, plies, depths, shell types, finishes, single or double sided, and price points, I think there is something for every orchestra and band. Talk to us and we can make some magic happen.

Pantheon Orchestral: Nine New Orchestral Sticks Released
Pantheon Orchestral now has NINE new types of orchestral snare drum sticks! This is the first of several new varieties of sticks for the orchestral market.
Available with three different head configurations and three different kinds of woods, we have something for every percussionist out there.
We chose Hickory for familiarity and light weight, followed by Bubinga for its liveliness and medium heft, and finally Jatoba, for its density and stability.
Made by our partners @cranndrumsticks in Hungary, these premium sticks are of the finest quality, but reasonably priced because there are no middlemen, only us.
Come try them at the shop. You just might find something you like.

Pantheon Percussion: Meinl Byzance 20” Extra Thin Hammered Crash Surgery
Dion brought in his Meinl Byzance 20” Extra Thin Hammered Crash with a dreadful crack close to the edge.
Oddly enough, it didn’t crack at the edge, so I had to make a more difficult cut to remove the affected area. Cymbal surgery took quite a while because I didn’t want to wear out either the hand drill or my hand like the last time; no joy in rushing the job. As you can hear from the video it sounds pretty good now. It’s got a pretty cool handle too.
You know where to go if you have cymbal problems: we’ve been repairing cymbals for the past eight years plus. We know what we’re doing.

Pantheon Percussion: Work Begins On Purpleheart Stave
Working on that Purpleheart stave snare with a new method of finishing. We’ve worked hard on our processes, ever improving and never resting on our laurels. This method is 100% natural, non-toxic, and takes fewer steps. However it takes more skill and more attention to detail.
There are a few more steps to complete the finish but it’s ok: the wood will always reward you for effort and always punish you when you take shortcuts. Stay tuned for more updates on my obsession.

Pantheon Percussion: Brady Wandoo Stave Structurally Sound Again After Transit Mishap
Today in the workshop: Shaun’s Brady Wandoo stave snare that was broken in three places.
It was completely cracked through in one of them, something that could only be seen when we removed the Trick throw-off. Some delicate maneuvering with a high pressure needle, wood glue and wood filler ensued; now it is structurally sound again.
This snare had been on many shows and international tours but met an unfortunate end INSIDE a hard case. That’s because stave snares may be thick, but they are notoriously vulnerable to cracking around the throw-off area and in-between blocks when struck. Unlike plywood snares which are cross-laminated, they have lines of weakness (wood grain) running through the entire length of the snare, so handle them with care.
Try to hand-carry your precious cargo: at least you know you won’t be throwing it around. Place the butt plate at the bottom corner of your hard-case with the throw off facing up and stowed in the “off” position or loosened generously. Also, extra padding never hurt a snare, so don’t be stingy.
This isn’t the first Brady/ stave snare I have repaired that was broken in transit, and it won’t be the last. Take care of your gear or you might well end up paying me a visit for reasons other than coffee.
