Tomek dreamed of being able to buy professional drums with hardware for 3500 PLN. Tomek wondered why top drum manufacturers didn't offer professional attributes on drums in this price range, because that's what he wanted to sell. Instead of waiting for salvation, he thought, well, I guess I have to do this myself. Quite by accident, Tomek is a production technologist and architect, so he knew how to approach it. The design work took a long time, with prototype after prototype.
