Frank Corniola | A Century of Drumming | 100 Years of Drums

Dedication and commitment to the drumming community has earned Drumtek Australia's number one status as a comprehensive drum and percussion complex. It all began in 1990 when the vacant site at 529-533 High Street Northcote was purchased, then two years later the complex was completed from the ground up!
