Kevin Martin, while a student at Cornell, discovered a book written in 1964 at the school library titled Pete Seeger’s Steel Drums - How To Play Them and Make Them.

After graduating with a degree in International Trade and Finance, Kevin pursued a career in his field, but the steel drum never left his mind. Over the years, he continued to build drums in his spare time. In 1998, Kevin left his job in finance to pursue steel drum building and playing music full-time. READ MORE
