How it works
We answer right away — quote forms welcome too. After hours, our answering service routes you, so it may not be a percussionist on the line.
Pitch, mallets, stands. The small stuff email-only places never ask.
Disney, Sony, Henson, Pantages — we know the docks, the elevators, the names.
Backup mallets at four? We answer. After the gig, we pick up.
On the bench
From a forty-dollar cowbell to a five-octave Marimba One — every call pulls from the same shelves. We carry the whole vocabulary.

The room you're calling
You're not talking to a sales desk. You're talking to people who know what "A=442, lid up" means without asking — because they've sat in the chair.
“CalPerc is the first call. Always. The instruments arrive ready, and the gear sounds like the part was written for it.”
Two ways to start
Same answer either way — a real percussionist on the other end and a truck on the way before you've hung up.
