Hi... My name is Carl Peterson. I grew up in the New York City area, where I played with several bands.I was involved in band all through grammar school. I was involved in the #1 Jazz and #1 marching bands in the state of N.J . while in high school..  In 1977, I moved to Raleigh, N.C. . There, I played with more acts, and became a first call player, or "A" list player. I also did studio work there, and also slid into acting. I was in a few movies. I had the pleasure of working with greats as Robert Duvall, Faye Dunaway, Natashia Richardson,Adian Quinn..I also did some commercials. I owned a drum shop there for a few years. I was working, teaching, acting, and playing gigs 3 to 4 time a week..

In 1994, I moved to the Nashville,TN. area. In 1998, I went to work for another major drum company,and was the head of the custom gear for the whole U.S. market. So trust me..I know drums..I am a drum geek..Anyways while living here, I made contacts, and starting playing alot..I also play with numerous bands and session guys here in Nashville,TN,and surrounding states.

Please visit the myspace and click on the tunes.Maybe you can catch me at a Taye clinic in the near future.My newest kit is a birch kit in Galaxy Ice..It smokes..

If you own a set of these, I don't have to tell you how GREAT they are. If you don't own a set, well, test drive some, and you will buy them..Like I stated before..I have seen, designed, and played them all guys..I dont HAVE to play Taye..I can play any drums I want..I CHOOSE to play Taye for many reasons.They make GREAT drums,and the customer service team and management is the BEST..There is a close relationship in this group of people, and I am PROUD to be a part of this family..

God bless...Carl Peterson
