Campaign Details

Greetings, friends and thank you for vising my GivingGrid, Wall Of Love fund-raising campaign! My name is Jeff Chomin and I've been a drummer for longer than my oldest recollectable memory! My parents had told me that I started banging on pots and pans and toy drums around the age of (2) but, they officially signed me up for lessons at the age of (5). Since then, the musical path I have "beaten" has lead me to some truly incredible places and opportunities! Please click HERE to access more information on the Quantum Drums website regarding my musical career and the formation of my drum company.
In 2011, I began to envision creating my own custom drums – which I realized by April of 2012 when I launched my Quantum Drums prototype drum kit. Since then, I have designed and built several unique prototypes, (that I'm hoping to non-provisionally patent), my own line of cymbals and a re-imagined drum throne unlike any other. Quantum Drums feature my proprietary drum lug. What I initially set out to do was develop something that would make my drums different from the big-name, world-reknowned drum companies out there today. After many months of testing a number of concepts, I ended up with my Quantum Drum Lugs. There are currently countless boutique drum companies starting up all over the world, of which I am proudly a small but unique part of.
Fast-forward to 2013 and I find out something truly miraculous is on my horizon. I was told that I was going to be a Dad! I even got to deliver her which was obviously the most intense experience of my life! While truly being the best co-creation I've ever been a part of and most-definitely the best "gig" I've ever had, (as "Daddy Daycare), it no doubt took up most of my time until recently. Our little Cadence Melody will be (4) soon, and I am hoping to pick up where I left off with regard to taking my drum company to the next level! I have been able to finance a small portion of this myself however, I admit at this time that I will not be able to achieve my dreams without the help of my good brothers and sisters out there, who may be able to contribute a few dollars for what I hope they feel is a worthy cause.
I feel that many of my designs, products and concepts are game-changing innovations and truly worthy of being fully realized. I have been told as much by countless others as well, including many highly respected, music industry professionals that I admire. My prototypes I've been using for live performances since their official launch in 2012, have quite literally, caught the eyes and ears of everyone who sees and hears them! They have even influenced and inspired others that have gone on to do some pretty big things that have been nationally and internationally recognized.
As mentioned above, I not only create custom drums, but cymbals as well. My RA Custom Cymbals were tested rigorously for two years before I put my name and brand on them. They are made of the same great alloy that most major cymbal brands use today.
My Quantum Drums Bounce-n-Beat Drum Throne is perhaps the best concept I've ever had. I have been using it now since 2009, and it literally saved my spine and allowed me to continue drumming after a series of serendipitous events almost forced me to stop playing. The photo here is of my "sketch," that was built for my height and weight, but the prototype design I would like to bring to life features many improvements and customizable features to fit drummers of all shapes and sizes. I hope to finance that fabrication if my campaign is successful enough. It is my opinion that sitting on a cushion of air is the inevitable future of all drummers!
My prototype Quantum Drums Electric/Acoustic Hybrid snare is truly, one-of-a-kind! It is the only drum on the market, (that I know of), that is instantly switchable from acoustic to electric and vise-versa! I am currently in patent-pending status with this drum and hope to license or sell the concept to a larger drum company with greater production capabilities. I believe drummers from all over the world would find the concept extremely innovative and useful.
Over the past few years I've been approached by old friends who now have children that are getting into music and specifically, drums. They ended up having me design and build their kids custom snare drums, which I became very passionate about—especially because these kids remind me of myself as a boy. To see the joy my daughter gets when she plays my drums is something that warms my heart every time! It is my goal to be able to build customized drums for children and adults alike, who find themselves how I did as a child—truly immersed in all-things drums!
The funds I am hoping to generate through this GivingGrid campaign will be used to purchase machinery and tools and to hopefully help me relocate from my small garage into a proper workshop environment. As I mentioned above, I am truly hoping to get a chance to legitimize my efforts and make a name for my products within the drumming communities around the world. Therefore, all of the essential small business items required for day-to-day operations will be needed eventually as well. I am also hoping to be able to attend national trade shows such as the annual NAMM, (National Association of Music Merchants), trade shows--which can be a costly venture but truly worth the expense if done right.
If my campaign is successful, the overwhelming gratitude that I will feel would be truly indescribable! Music and drumming have been my life, along with a few corporate jobs in-between, from which I learned a wealth of information about business. I have been very blessed up to this point to have had the opportunities that I have had, musically and in general life terms. Unfortunately, while I am wealthy in both spirit and love—financially I could use a little help. I set the bar high, but will truly appreciate every penny that is received! I do plan on eventually offering a few gifts with certain denominations donated, (tee shirts, hoodies, hats, mugs, etc.), but I must first "drum-up" some funds in order to do so.
