Tampa Bay Thunder is pleased to announce our new partnership with TreeWorks Chimes. Thunder's front ensemble will exclusively play TreeWorks brand chimes and triangles. Many thanks go out to the TreeWorks team in helping make this happen!

If you are a drummer or percussionist, you already know that your contribution is intrinsic to the music and an inseparable component of the final performance. Because every instrument in your repertoire is a reflection of you, you listen, evaluate and choose the best instruments all the way down the line. 

Yet when you look at your options for chimes - so many metal bars and plastic ties - you might think that chimes aren't considered a serious part of that overall contribution. 

Developed and engineered by a percussionist frustrated by a scarcity of quality instruments, TreeWorks Chimes was founded in 1996 to provide musicians with, unquestionably, the finest chime that can be made. 

Thunder Partners With Pearl Drums

Tampa Bay Thunder is pleased to announce Pearl Drums as our latest equipment partnership starting in 2012. Pearl Drums joins King Brass, Sabian, Pro-Mark, Evans, & Dinkles as our equipment sponsors. 

The administrative board has implemented an equipment fund to help cover the expense of the new equipment (at a discounted artist rate). This fund will be partially subsidized by membership dues and by donations to the corps. 

Please help the Tampa Bay Thunder meet it's 2012 equipment fund goal by making your donation today!       

Come April 2012, Thunder's battery will be sporting a new look! Many thanks go out to the Pearl Corporation & Sr. Marketing Manager Shawn Lafrenz.

Tampa Bay Thunder is a 501(c)3 organization and all donations are tax deductable.
