Our Story
PoleCat Percussion Systems Inc. is a small business based out of Ontario, Canada made up of two passionate individuals with over 30 years experience in the music industry. We are a husband and wife team 13 years strong wanting to offer Drummers around the World a new product that will reduce their set up time while still having exact placement of their drums.
The idea of removing tripod legs on percussion stands and creating a module to hold the tubing to the stand on a platform came to Tim Scott in two stages. Tim was a true study of one of Canada's greats, Neil Peart, and had the same need of having as much percussion around him as possible. But the dilemma for him was how to simplify Neil Peart's set up so that any drummer can have the same look at an affordable price. The second stage of his idea came to him while getting out of a swimming pool. He noticed the fixture holding the arm of the ladder and it was at that point that it all started coming together.
With our company just launching in the Summer of 2011 and our resources very limited we are on a mission to go viral by reaching as many drummers as possible from all over the world. We want every concert, festival, bar and garage drummer to hear about the benefits of our product.
The Impact
Our success depends on two things, hard work, and the belief and financial support of people just like YOU. Without your support our company will never grow, and considering that we currently live in a city which was badly hit by the recession we just might be a statistic sooner rather than later. This reality has always been on our shoulders but we believe in our product so much we were willing to believe enough to bring it to where it is today. Help our business succeed!!
