Hey, gang-
Well, I finally updated my prices. it was really time. I was embarrassed to realize what my drums were costing to build vs. what I was charging. I think they’re priced very well now. I hope you’ll agree.
in the middle of redesigning the site, our logo and badge. I think you will really dig the end result. when this is complete, i’m going to be advertising for the first time ever. hope it helps. I’d like to be building more drums in general and I’ve never really tried to do anything to make that happen. I’ve always just relied on word of mouth, and that’s just not enough these days, so wish me luck.
haven’t been touring much lately. just the occasional tech thing here and there, but no major road time. i do miss it, but being home has allowed me to play more music, which has been a good thing.
I turned 38 in December. hard to believe. a lot happened last year in my life and I’m coming to terms with the fact that life is short (and getting shorter) and it’s important to be here now and make the most of what we’ve got. trying my best to do this…
Anyhoo, I’m excited to see what happens  at Mlasko drums this year. It’s really important to me to take the company to a new place. I hope more people will appreciate what it is we do here. feel free to join our humble Facebook group. spread the word that there’s this guy in Seattle that really digs old drums and is building new versions of them!
alright, enough of my rambling. Hope you are well and here’s to honoring classic drum design in 2011!
best,
a.m.

till the first day of spring (march 20, 2011), any drumset order of at least two toms and a bass drum will include a matching snare drum for free! just mention this post in yr correspondence. i understand very well that times are tough right now, and i hope this will help you out a bit if you’re on the fence about a new drumset. this wil save you around $500, which is a lot of money these days. happy new year and cheers, aaron
