SDBRANCH portable timpani gauges
(patent pending)

Wish there were tuning gauges on the drums you play? Now you can add a set to nearly any make and model you encounter! These gauges set up in minutes with no tools, and can be removed even faster when the gig is over. Using strong magnets, the gauges will not creep or rattle. Ready to order? Give me some details about the drums you use and we’ll go from there!
