My name is Brian Allison, I am the owner of Hope Drums. First off, thank you for taking time to visit my site. I have been around music my whole life and have been playing drums/percussion for 20+ years. I have played at the semi-pro level in the Tyler/Dallas area, playing all types of genres from Christian to Symphony Orchestra. I am an active musician in the Shreveport/Bossier area of Louisiana, playing for three different bands and picking up side jobs when/where I can.

I currently endorse Pintech, Soultone cymbals, Hansenfutz practice pedals and the Kelly Shu.  I also use the following brands: Promark, Evans, Taye, Hart Dynamics, Alesis, Roland, Roc N Soc, Gibraltar, Mapex and Tama.

I started Hope Drums on eBay and have become the most referred electronic drums dealers in the nation. I have made many friends from my business and hope to continue to offer great support for Pintech drums! I pride myself on customer service. I have recently agreed to become a representative for Pintech, providing them with customer and technical support.

I have been involved Public Safety since I was old enough to volunteer as a Firefighter. I have worked as a Paramedic, Detention Officer, Dispatcher, Police Officer, Deputy Constable and Deputy Sheriff. I never understood the expression that "law enforcement is a thankless job", until I experienced it for myself. After losing two friends/fellow officers and nearly losing another, I decided it was my time to get out of law enforcement.

I just recently graduated with my Associates in Business degree and am a full time student at LSU in Shreveport, working on my Bachelor's degree. I thank God every day for the things he has allowed me to experience, even though some were not so pleasant, they have made me stronger and increased my faith in humanity!
