Swan Percussion began in 2008 as a collaboration between Eric Holland, a designer and craftsman, and Mike Meadows, an established world-class percussionist.

Together they developed The Black Swan Drum, inspired by the Ghanaian Gombe (Gome) but with innovations including an instant tuning system, quick head change system, and the ability to incorporate any standard 16" floor tom head. The Black Swan was so well received that they continued to develop more instruments.

In addition to the Black Swan, their instruments include high-end cajon drums, bongos, shakers and the Knock Box.

All Swan Percussion products are proudly manufactured in Texas, USA.
