Drumzrguruven

Chad Schott has been making Exotic percussion instruments out of wood, clay, gourds and bamboo for over 20 years. Chad is the inventor of the lightweight gourd drum. He began his journey making percussion instruments from hollow logs in the spring of 91. By 1993 he began crafting ceramic drums as well as multi-headed ceramic drums. During that time a friend showed him how to make a bamboo rainstick. From that experience, he taught himself how to make and play bamboo didgeridoos. Riding off momentum from his creations, Chad took his instruments on Grateful Dead tour making enough money to pay for college tuition. By 1996 Drumzrguruven was accepted into The Kentucky Crafted marketing Program. Since 1996 Chad has participated in hundreds of art shows and music festival throughout the country winning over a dozen awards along the way.
