Finding the perfect size bushings can be difficult for Lights drums. When I needed some fabricated I knew DK Percussion could help. Daniel did a great job of replicating the original master screw bushings from my Mark XI drums. Bravo Daniel!

“These replacement indicators are awesome. They will last much longer than the original ones.
Also the customer service is superb!!!!
Can't thank you enough!!!!

“I used the DK Percussion teflon tape for the first time a couple of weeks ago on a job replacing a set of timpani heads. I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was to install this tape on the bowls versus the teflon bearing edge tape I had been using previously. It has just enough give to the tape to make it conform to the edge effortlessly and it's very thin. This will be what I keep in stock for my jobs now.”

“Never had a problem with these indicators and I know that these will last the life of a set of timpani, if not longer. Great replacements for Ludwig indicators that have either gone missing or have had the letters peel off.”

“These are much nicer than the original plastic topped indicators that came with our timpani. Those eventually had the letters scraped off. These will work much better. The service was great and Dan kept in communication with me about our order. Bravo!”

“We purchased a variable amount of these tuning indicators, and the customer service level was off the charts. Prior to shipping, Daniel reached out to us to confirm we weren't missing anything we needed, and followed up with us to ensure our needs were met. The products themselves are fantastic.

Reward this business with your confidence, trust, and repeat transactions. They're one of the good ones, for sure.”

I played a set of Ludwig Dresdens for almost a couple of decades before I got these ratchets. Daniel did the work that Ludwig should have done when these drums were designed. No more fiddling between the coarse teeth of the originals, only to have to mess with the fine tuners. Fantastic workmanship. Worth every penny and many more. Get them!

“These are awesome. They are quite an impressive upgrade to the ones on our Ludwig timpani. Dan is knowledgeable and very helpful. I know I’ll never need to order them again…….but I would!”

“I bought 15 Stainless Steel Timpani Stand Crosses to make stands for my African drums like 18" djembe and also for handpan instruments and more. They are Pro! Very solid and well made. I am happy, it is very useful for me to create different stands.”

“These indicators are the best ones you will find out on the market. The engraving will last forever and the extra thread length means you can keep them from ever falling off as long as you crimp it or and a small drop of glue on the end. I use these for all my repairs for both Ludwig and Walter Light drums. I also use them on the gauges I build and will continue to do so. If you purchase these and take the time to install them correctly, you will never have to worry about indicators again. “

“I have a pair of these for my Boosey & Hawkes drums and I absolutely love it! Super solid and strong, super even and consistent; a very highly recommended product.

Great customer service too; always communicative and helpful.”
