History

Established in 1979.

Neil first crafted a 9″ triangle for his personal use (now Model TR-​9). Starting a percussion manufacturing company was the farthest thing from Neil’s mind, as he was playing and teaching full time. When Boston’s top percussionists heard the «Grover» triangle, though, they insisted that Neil make one for them. Neil started making triangles, one at a time, to satisfy the requests of his Boston colleagues.

Neil followed his triangles with tambourines, mallets, woodblocks, and other percussion products. Though still a cottage industry, Grover Pro Percussion’s mission was established: To produce percussion instruments of the highest musical quality. Neil developed and tested each and every product personally, ensuring a high level of quality control that remains unparalleled in the industry.

Today, Grover Pro Percussion operates in an efficient manufacturing facility located just north of Boston at the corner of Rt. 93 and Rt. 128 in Woburn, Massachusetts.
