Looking to shop for drums or percussion equipment? Look no farther than Dynamic Percussion. Our beginnings start in 1976 when Gus started playing professionally, and had his first teaching experiences (while in High School) starting Gus' Drum Pad. Gus then went on to attend the Peabody Conservatory of Music (of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD) and received his Bachelor of Music with a double major in Percussion Performance, and Music Education. Gus enlisted in the US Army and, was assigned to the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment, (traditionally known as "The Old Guard," is the oldest active-duty infantry unit in the Army, serving our nation since 1784. The Old Guard is the Army's official ceremonial unit and escort to the president), as member of "The Old Guard Fife & Drum Corps". After his active duty time, Gus has performed through-out the United States, until settling down in East Hartford, re-establishing Gus' Drum Pad in 1985, and purchased Dynamic Percussion in 2012. Gus Drum Pad & Dynamic Percussion continues to teach, sell, serve, and provide local drummers with gear, history and knowledge from decades of experience, studying, and performing professionally in 48 states, and internationally.
