Artists on our products.
Mothertone has had the absolute pleasure of working with so many wonderfully talented artists as they create and perform all over the world.
At Mothertone, it is important to us that we support musicians..... whether a seasoned Grammy winner or the up and coming players.... we're always helping them make and take the smart and important steps forward.
We provide amazing tools for artists... then support all we can throughout their journey... whatever stage they're at!
There's loads of great artists we've had the pleasure to work with, Here's a taste of the varying range

Roy "Futureman" Wooten
Five-time Grammy®Winner
Roy 'Futureman' Wooten is a super creative, five-time Grammy® award winning artist who always pushes the boundaries - and he really loves his set of drums that we custom built for him at Mothertone in Nashville TN.
The first set we produced for Roy was based on the Sleishman system with plenty of custom work at Mothertone HQ. We inverted the bass drum to "face north", put together some amazing twin pedals to suit. We then fitted custom maple shells with 'f' holes in the shells. This set-up allows Roy to truly express himself in new ways - he's found sounds on his drums never before possible, using fingers, hands, rods or sticks. And what an amazing extra mic position the "f" holes in the shells provide!
Since then, we have built an even more wonderful string based, pitch bendable Mothertone full custom set for Roy and it doesn't matter if Roy is playing funk, jazz, rock, fusion, with a 30 piece orchestra or creating a film soundtrack - it's been a great journey we've had together so far.
Touring and recording with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, The Wooten Brothers, his own Orchestra and many more.

Listening back and analyzing the "f" hole test sessions with Roy "Futureman" Wooten at Blackbird Studios, Nashville TN. Very pleasing results. Clarity, definition, we loved blending the sound of the "f" holes with standard micing positions.... Fantastic!
"Testing the future" upright base drum idea at Mothertone HQ in Nashville TN. We commenced building the actual kit and unique pedals the next day.
Chuck is a highly sought after Drummer, Clinician and writer who has played with scores of artists for over 35 years in Country, Rock and Christian Contemporary. Chuck is highly skilled in blending acoustic and electronic drums which is a valuable forte these days.

The great Joe Berger on the desk at our 2nd Mother Of All Hangs. Joe played with Jon Hammond at our SummerNAMM hangs that night also. In fact Joe has never missed playing a Mothertone SummerNAMM Hang. And he already says he's in for next year. Thanks Bergermeister
Michael Turner, Nate "J Wackerseed" Mould. Thanks Johnny. Nate is a far better drummer than you may expect from a robot with a drum shell head. Nate is currently playing for both The Bedrock, Brooks Hubbard and more... a busy boy.

If possible, we love to get our artists into our workshop to learn the finer points of assembling our drums so when they're out on the road, they know their gear.

Lucky we only said we would give Mothertone merch to the first Santa there rather than all the Santa's that came to our end of year party! We ended up with at least 50 of them.... Hilarious good times.
