George H. Way Drums
In February 21st 1969 the world of drumming bid farewell to one of its most iconic and prolific product designers ever: George Harrison Way.
After his death the company remained dormant until 2006 when independent drum and percussion product designer Ronn Dunnett acquired the rights to the GHW and George Way Drum Company and shortly thereafter began work restoring the company and maintaining the Way legacy. In the years since that work began Dunnett and the George Way Drum Company stand as the only heritage brand to mount a successful relaunch. Ronn Dunnett’s work in rebuilding the company and maintaining and expanding on George Way’s innovations and dedication to quality and customer service mean that drummers are able to own and experience a genuine vintage look and sound combined seamlessly with modern manufacturing.
