Did you know that we are the first company to use Padauk, a tone wood, for the playing surface of our temple blocks? Read more on our Products page!

The most Amazing Temple Blocks and Slap Sticks that could possibly imagine! Actually I purchased a set of 3 graduated Slap Sticks.. wonderful! Ryan’s craftsmanship and creativity is truly astounding. The water gong rig he built for CSUF Percussion Ensemble is genius. Great work.

Rustic Percussion produces some of the finest instruments I’ve heard in a long time. I’ve used Rustic’s temple blocks with groups as diverse as the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and they flat-out sound amazing. Bravo to Ryan and his dedication to sound, design and craftsmanship.
— Ken McGrath, Los Angeles Freelance Percussionist and Educator
Ryan’s craftsmanship and attention to detail really shine through the beautiful design and even richer sound profile in his custom made Padouk wood temple blocks! His instruments have already reached the hands and ears of many great LA percussionists and I’m excited to see more of his products!
— Kristian De Leon, California State University Fullerton
Ryan rebuilt a xylophone frame for one of our instruments at Biola University and we couldn’t be more pleased. His care and professional attention to detail are exactly what is needed in the industry and I am looking forward to seeing new and exciting innovations from Rustic Percussion in the years to come.
