Dark Horse Percussion is excited to welcome the several new artist to the Dark Horse family. These artist display the talent, dedication, work ethic, determination, and goals that that we look for in our endorsed artist.

2012 promises to be a monumental year for the DHP family.  Since 1996, Dark Horse Percussion has become one of the most powerful forces in the percussion community.  With over 250 artists globally, DHP looks towards 2012 to be it’s finest year yet.

Founder and CEO of Dark Horse Percussion, Anthony Cartinella has stepped back as the owner of DHP and is now taking the role of Senior Production and Sales Representative.

“ It is truly amazing how large of a company DHP has grown into over the years.  DHP was always run as a part-time operation due to my educational career, schooling and family.  Now at Dark Horse Percussion, there will be a full time staff to keep production lead-times down, continue with the fine craftsmanship that DHP prides itself on, expand the retail side of the business, venture into more artist and tour support, and this is all just the tip of the iceberg.  This business plan has been in the works for the past couple of years to make it the most seamless transition for the business moving forward.”
