John's Story

Hi, my name is John Proctor, and I am the owner and operator of Earth Tones Studio in Guelph, Ontario, Canada

​

I build drums and teach workshops on drum making for a variety of traditional world drums, including Djembe, Taiko, Ashiko and many styles of Frame drums, as well as percussion instruments crafted from hard-shelled gourds, recycled PVC and wood. 

I also facilitate drumming and soundscapes for those who respond to the call and the dance of the drum beat.

​​

Creative and artistic, I am always coming up with new junk percussion ideas for fun and entertainment.  I also sells the drums that I make.  Drum building supplies are available for purchase.  Skins, rope, rings, drum shells. More information about that is available upon request. 

​

I am also a certified Roots of Rhythm teacher and provide an innovative cross-curricular program that offers training to both teachers and students in fundamental rhythms both ancient and modern.

​

I will be offering a Drum-Making workshop at Soul Intention - watch the event announcements for dates, times and details!  

​

Looking forward to working with you.
