Our Story...
Since 1980, Our products have been in strong demand, known as some of the finest
musical instruments ever made, and can be found in virtually every corner of the world!
Grover Pro Percussion was founded in 1980 by Boston-based percussionist Neil Grover. The company’s
roots start with Neil aiming to reproduce the sound of the Boston Symphony’s vintage Leedy triangle. His
natural curiosity led him to explore why that particular triangle had such uniquely vibrant musical sound
qualities. With the help of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Acoustics & Vibrations Lab,
Neil set out to uncover the secret of creating a triangle with prominent overtone resonance, resulting in a
9” triangle he crafted for his personal use.
Starting a percussion manufacturing company was the furthest thing from Neil’s mind, but when
Boston’s percussionists heard the “Grover” triangle, they insisted that Neil make them one. Neil started
making triangles, one at a time, to satisfy requests of his Boston-based colleagues, and soon, for top
percussionists around the world. Unintentionally, the Grover Super-Overtone™ triangle was born.
After Triangles came Tambourines, Mallets, Woodblocks, Snare Drums, and more. Neil developed &
tested each product personally, ensuring a high level of quality control that remains unparalleled in
the industry. The company’s mission has been the same since the beginning: Supply the world’s 昀椀nest
percussion products for professionals, students, and performing ensembles.
Today, Grover Pro Percussion is owned by RBI Music, a Texas based company with 60+ years in
the Music Industry, and employs a dedicated team of percussion specialists, production experts, and
seasoned business managers. Despite his busy performance schedule, Neil Grover continues to oversee
the development of every single product.
