Wow, just saw the news courtesy of the Drummer Cafe newsfeed.
I'm shocked.
Never met the man or knew anything much about him, but I have played many of his drums including kits and snares. His snares are my go to drums I have to say.
They just have that precious combination of versatility and high quality sound.
Very sad news. My condolences go out to his family and everyone who knew him.

I was very saddened to hear this. I have two of his snares, plus a DW set built while he was still working there. He built some of the best drums the World has ever played/heard.
