Current Endorsers

Raymond Chambers

Ray is the current drummer for Oklahoma based progressive rock band, Aslan. Aslan was formed in the mid-90's and have consistently released albums that build upon their never-ending battle to push for pure, heavy, uplifting, powerful, spiritual, technically challenging music. They are currently working on another album and have recently added a new vocalist to the band.

Ray's current snare drum is a silver metallic sparkle 20ply, 13x6 maple shell with two 2" vents and trick strainer.

 

 

Moe Martinez

He brings tremendous road and recording experience into this band and has previously played for other successful bands; such as, Forty Percent and South FM. They are currently working on releasing their new album nationally after enjoying success with their first album 'Colors'.

 Moe's current Thumbprint setup was finished in our Bordeaux Sparkle; sizes include a 22x18 kick, 10x9, 12x10, 14X12 rack toms with Gauger Alloy RIMS.

Mike Rowland

Mike plays with Dallas area bands Dimmed, an alternative-rock band, and Old Bull Gaines, an alt-country/Southern Rock influenced band. Mike has been playing for about twenty years, and has appeared on several recordings. Most recently recording Dimmed's "Sky Canvas" EP (2008, currently in post-production) and "The Sum of Our Parts" LP (2006), as well as Old Bull Gaines' "From Broken Hearts to Broken Bottles" EP (2007).

Mike has several other projects underway, including appearing on the Naked Genius debut (featuring Jonathan Moreland of Dimmed), and Red Anchor Productions, a sound production/backline company (using Thumbprint's drums, of course!).

Mike's current setup features an Indigo Blue stain with a hand-rubbed satin finish in the following sizes: 18"x20" kick drum, 8"x8", 8"x10", and 10"x12" rack toms, and 12"x14" and 14"x16" floor toms. Mike's snare is currently in production, a 6"x13" drum in our Chipotle Sparkle finish.

Donny Tomlinson

 Donny is another veteran of both the road and studio.  He has toured extensively around the United States and recorded tracks in support of such artists as Sonny Burgess, Kevin Sharpe, Gary U.S. Bonds, Heath Wright (Ricochet) ,Ricky Lynn Gregg,  Bret Michaels (Poison) and country music star Joe Nichols. 

Donny currently holds the drum throne in the DFW based country band  3 Ring Rodeo.  With a song list that includes popular Texas music, traditional country and rock, and a strong catalogue of original material, the group is winning friends and fans right out of the gate. The first single release, "I Don't Drink About You Anymore" from their current c.d. "Don't Send The Invitation If You Don't Want To Party" on BB3 Records is already receiving rave reviews and has charted in various overseas markets. 

Thumbprint is currently working on his 5x14 Silver Sparkle snare with die-cast hoops, trick strainer and 2" vent. 

Dan Townsend

Dan “Danimal” Townsend, AKA “the Poolman”, is currently looking for a band that can not only tolerate his destructive playing style, but also his tendencies toward necrophilia and homosexuality. Not to mention; his rather strong odor, somewhat reminiscent of 3-day old musty socks which have been submerged in a septic tank overnight.

Odoriferous tendencies aside, “Danimal” has held the drum chair for several bands over the years, including the Progressive-metal band Cold Fuzion, and Hagelaz; a power-metal band, who collectively were uglier than the ugliest thing that one can imagine. Dan’s aggressive playing style has contributed to him single-handedly destroying over 3000 cymbals which have allowed many a metal smithy to triple their profits and create a raw material shortage such as the world has never seen.
“Danimal” is currently putting a new project together, named ‘Free Chicken and Beer’, but we hear through the grapevine that ‘The Douchebags Take Revenge’ is the front-runner, followed by ‘Pagan Parade’ and ‘Death Rattle’.

Dan currently plays a 5.5”x14” snare with a light gray to charcoal to black 3-color fade, with black nickel plated hardware and die-cast hoops. Thumbprint Custom Finishes is at this moment making a kit to match: 18”x22’ kick, 8”x10”, 10”x12” rack toms, 12”x14” and 14”x16” floor toms.
