“From playing free form to tackling a new multiple percussion composition, I rely on my arsenal of excellently crafted Black Swamp woodblocks to respond with the rich tones that will make the music come alive.”

“The Black Swamp temple blocks sound fantastic and are constructed using the most detailed

craftsmanship. The mounting system is ingenious, allowing for various block combinations and

integration with any rack system.”
