GK Music
was founded in 2007 by Grzegorz Krawczyk and dealt with running an online store with musical instruments. Because of his profession and his passion for percussion instruments, Grzegorz always wanted to create accessories that would fully satisfy qualitative and aesthetic needs of drummers and at the same time would be available with reasonable price.
Therefore, in 2012 the company underwent a re-organization and began a process of many tests. It resulted in the start of production of the first drum pads and percussion rods.
In 2014 GK has expanded line of accessories with launching of nuts on cymbal stand, mufflers for bass drums and shakers made of brass. Further products are in the design phase, then would be tested and when get a favorable opinion, they would be put in the offer.
All products of GK Music company are designed in collaboration with experienced drummers and educators of percussive arts. All accessories are handmade produced in Poland, with strong emphasis on high quality, carefully selected parameters, accuracy and high aesthetic quality.
