ThunderEcho™ Drum Company started with one trash can drum that Kevin Reed built while recovering from a work-related, catastrophic, traumatic brain injury and 75 day coma. He played it on gigs and received so much attention that Kevin and his mom, Jane, decided to make the Trash Kat™ drum available to drummers across the USA.
The story of Kevin's recovery is available on the ThunderEcho™ Drum Company website.
The Trash Kat™ drum is now endorsed by Adrian Young (No Doubt), Recycled Percussion, Carmine Appice (SLAMM!), John Mahon (Elton John Band), Rodger Carter (Rick Springfield Band), Brian MacLeod, Andy Korn, Dame Evelyn Glennie (PAS Hall of Fame Inductee), Eric Darken (CMA Award Winner), Will Calhoun (Living Colour) and many more top drummers. It was even placed on exhibit by Street Drum Corps at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. It is also used in interactive music sessions at the Carlsbad California Museum of Making Music.
The Trash Kat™ drum is patented.
The Ohio company has been producing drums since 2002, and moved into their current location in 2007. EL-lighting was made available in 2008.
