My name is Daniel Willemain, and I am Co-Owner of DanMark. I have been involved in drumcorps for 11 years (from age 10 to 21). For my first 2 years I was involved in front ensemble mallet percussion, then played snare for the remainder. I also have many friends and family members who have been involved in drumcorps (all division and skill levels) for just as long as I have. Now I continue to keep my existing chops by teaching, which I've been doing since 2005.
With over 35 years of experience in fabrication, my father put together the first carrier, and then we took it from there. Since then, our design has been manufactured by professional fabricators and have been producing drum pad carriers for snare and bass drummers, with the soon release of our tenor drum pad carriers.
