Cooperman’s line of Hybrid, or Fusion, drums embraces a varied range of cross-influences. These drums are largely a response to our endorsing artists’ desire to explore, in new and non-conventional ways, traditional playing styles and instruments indigenous to diverse cultures. In some cases we have simply treated traditional elements to a contemporary makeover – as with our kanjira and our line of Italian Style drums – whereas in other cases elements – like our first Artists Innovation drum, the Hadjira, and our newest Todd Roach Hybrid Tambourine – we’ve radically reconfigured traditional elements in the creation of an “all new” model. These drums represent our commitment to innovation, as well as our respectful reliance on traditional forms and aesthetics.
