Perfect

My farmer foot drum is awesome. It really ads to my overall sound. I
always had trouble getting everyone together for band practice but now I
dont have to worry about that.
Its an eye catcher and head turner fo sho. You can check out other
footdrum videos on my myspace.com/jollygene
New tracks are coming soon!
Thanks so much Pete!

Get On Board with this Truly Unique Foot Percussion Instrument

Pete Farmer's "Farmer Foot Drum" is possibly the coolest single
example of American Mojo that I have come across in my 42 years of life. I
feel like the guy who just turned on the first light bulb. The build
quality is outstanding & the BIG sound will surprise you.
I am more than pleased with the Foot Drum & urge anyone considering this as
something they might enjoy to GO FOR IT!
Worth every penny & possibly underpriced in my humble opinion.
I am a bass player & plan to play the Foot Drum in an acoustic trio
setting. I am thumping away and finding my comfort zone & look forward to
unveilling
my new favorite instrument.

I am proud to help support this kind of American ingenuity & look for me on
the Antiques Roadshow in about 30 years or so. These Foot Drums will
absolutely become a piece of Americana to be admired & played for
Generations.
Thanks Pete, I'm loving your creation & look forward to playing your new
ideas.

Foot Drum Review

My first impression of the FFD is that Pete is a genius. He thought of
everything. If it moves, it adjusts. While setting it up with hi-hats and
cowbell, I learned how all the adjustments work. Now I'm playing along
with a guitar/harmonica and having more fun than any adult should be
allowed.
My first impression is also one of quality. I'm only playing a simple beat
but it's filled out my sound far more than the
tambourine I was kicking before. The sound is very balanced, with out any
one part of the drum over powering the rest. It is the perfect amount of
loudness to go with my Dobro Duolian. The FFD is as loud as you want it to
be according to how hard you play.
Lastly, I find the FFD to be a thing of beauty. The design and wood
choices are complementary. I am very happy with my purchase of a FFD.
Thanks again Pete for your attention to the details in the design that make
the FFD so special to everyone who hears and sees it, Rodger/Hollywood

Love farmerfootdrums!

Love the drums, lots of good feedback from the public (I'm a busker playing
to tourists in Victoria BC). Been putting in many a six hour day on them,
working great!

love my Farmer Foot Drums!

I've only had my foot drums for a few months, but they've already
transformed my blues harmonica playing. During a recent tour with my trio,
Satan and Adam, I performed a solo version of Stevie Wonder's
"Superstition." Here's a link to the video:

After playing harp for more than 30 years, I'm suddenly like a kid all over
again--wondering what new material I can work up with the help of my Farmer
Foot Drums.

Thanks Pete!
