Where the backbeats meet the spirits. Podcast #74, in this episode I chat with Nick Luick the owner of Newport Drums. They are based out of Southern California and their goal is to make quality drums for drummers at a fair price. Nick talks about starting up the company and being able to offer pretty much any customization from material to wraps/finishes. We also talk about growing up in the 90's and how he got into drums.
