Ron Larcombe formed a rock band with his friends while in high school and fell in love with music.

Ron worked in music retail at The Drum Shop in 1984, rising to manager before later buying the store while attending night school to gain his degree in business. In 1991 he formed his own percussion wholesale business, which expanded within a few years to include several other musical instruments.
