Gretsch
progressive Jazz
Woodpeckers drums are two friends, carpenters and passionate about everything that surrounds the world of drums. We love recovering old jewels, bringing them back to life, and then looking for a new home for them, where to give many hours of good music to everyone passionate about these fantastic sets.
We search all over the world and sell to all over the world. We also restore and carry out all kinds of commissioned work: modifications, changing wraps … and all kinds of restorations.
We love our work and that is undoubtedly evident in the final result, which we strive to make fantastic.
