Let me introduce myself...

My name is Jim McCarthy. I've been teaching and performing percussion of all sorts as a full time job for about 15 years now, and have been helping people over the internet with their playing and with their instrument building projects, for a great deal of that time.

My own obsession with mallet percussion started almost twenty years ago just before I finished High school. I was a music student studying percussion, and had made the decision to study full time at university and get a degree in music performance.

At that time I was more interested in snare drum (I still love it) and thought of mallets as just something I would need to do to audition sucessfully. BUT.... after learning my very first piece on marimba I fell in love with the instrument.

To cut a long story short, my audition was sucessful and I spent the next six years full time aquiring a Master's degree. I also became obsessed with actually building marimbas and built the world's lowest bass marimbas to date.

In more recent years I've worked with many students and schools where access to decent mallet instruments and quality lessons to learn them, is a real problem. I realized a solution was needed, so at the end of 2007 I started makeamarimba.com and released my first building guides for instruments especially designed to be built easily by the average person even if they had little woodworking knowledge or exxperience.
