Ronn Dunnett Interview-The George Way Drum Company
In this interview Ronn Dunnett recounts how and why he acquired the intellectual property and registered trademarks for The George Way Company. He also gives us a look into his plans for the future. The following two paragraphs are taken from The George Way Drum Company website:
On February 21st 1969 the world of drumming bid farewell to its most iconic and prolific product designers ever: George Harrison Way.
After his death the company remained dormant until 2006 when independent drum and percussion product designer Ronn Dunnett acquired the rights to the GHW and George Way Drum Company and shortly thereafter began work restoring the company and maintaining the Way legacy. In the years since that work began Dunnett and the George Way Drum Company stand as the only heritage brand to mount a successful relaunch. Ronn Dunnett's work in rebuilding the company and maintaining and expanding on George Way's innovations and dedication to quality and customer service mean that drummers are able to own and experience a genuine vintage look and sound combined seamlessly with modern manufacturing.

The Tom Mills drum is a museum piece, LITERALLY, because it was made by the founder of Sonor drums before he started Sonor drums and because it was THE inspiration for William F Ludwig to start making brass shell, separate tension snare drums in the US long before Ludwig and Ludwig existed. These drums were unmarked and they can be easily mistaken for old worthless instruments by the novice ant...
