Rick has always been fascinated by the unique sound that can be obtained from wooden acoustic percussion instruments. Being an expert wood craftsman, he has built and modified snare drums, drum sets and other percussion instruments to create a unique sound.

​

Rick learned the art of wood working from his father George Klemm, a master craftsman who learned his trade in Germany. Rick has built a variety of projects ranging from wooden boats to traditional hardwood staircases. These projects gave him the skill set and finesse to produce a fine, durable wood product with a flawless finish that will last a lifetime.
