Read the latest NEWS!! As many of you know, I have been on a wonderful creative and educational journey for the last 4-6 years developing my skills as a bronze metal worker and cymbalsmith. In addition to this I have been quietly making various sound items and recording them for arrangers and media artists to use. I’ve been doing this out of my home studio in Java Center, NY. In the beginning of 2026 I will be moving my operations to a studio space in Buffalo, NY. It’s time for my home to be home not a shop. (This makes my very talented sister happy as she’s sick of pick metal pieces out of her feet 👣) The name of the studio will be BUFFALO DRUM COOPERATIVE . The space will be made available (for a small fee) for other artists to learn and investigate their particular artistic direction related to drums and percussion. There will be many other facets to the cooperative that I will presented in the near future. It’s going to be a fun and safe place for creative activities including but not limited to mini concerts and master classes. One of the reasons I’m pursuing this is that since my friend Paul closed his storefront Buffalo Drum Outlet there has been a drum store vacuum here in Buffalo. Paul continues to sell out of his home, which is awesome. 👏 Stay tuned from more information coming in the next months. If you have an interest in this concept and want to be part of it, please feel free to contact me to discuss how you could be involved.  Please consider donating to help the Fry startup cost. https://gofund.me/0f1b3ff86 I intend to sell my wares as well as taking on some appropriate consignment items. There will be private teaching space for rent also. STAY TUNED…Stuff is happening fast.
