Wallet. Phone. Keys.
You sit down to play, and suddenly you need somewhere to put them.
OUR STORY / DOOVIE RHYTHM FOUNDRY
It started with
“Where do I put this?”
A drummer. A kit full of possibilities.
And nowhere sensible to clip an in-ear monitor.
01 / THE QUESTION
Right there at the kit.
I’m a drummer, and Doovie started with the everyday frustrations that come with being one.
One day, I was sitting at the kit trying to figure out where to clip my in-ear monitor. The floor tom wasn’t an option. I couldn’t just let it hang. And duct-taping it to the side of my drum throne didn’t feel like the answer.
I just needed a place to clip it.
That one question got me thinking about all the other things that never seemed to have a place.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
A place for the things
that come to every gig.
Sticks. Water. Towel.
The things you reach for throughout the night should be close by and easy to grab.
A few spare picks.
Because our guitarist will undoubtedly need one before the night is over.
02 / MAKING A PLACE
From “what if”
to something useful.
I wanted storage close to where I sit—somewhere to keep the little things, with a way to attach the things I use most.
Being able to design parts and prototype them with 3D printing gave me a way to work through those ideas. Instead of just thinking about a solution, I could make something and try it at the kit.
That thinking became SideStage: a drum-throne-mounted organizer with a general storage area and connections for a drink holder, stick holder, and in-ear monitor mount.
03 / SHARING WHAT HELPS
Made from the problems
I know firsthand.
The more these ideas helped me, the more I wanted to share them. That’s where Doovie Rhythm Foundry comes from: being a drummer, noticing what gets in the way, and making something that helps.
It starts with a real need. And sometimes, a simple question from behind the kit.
