Ivor Arbiter, Founder

Hayman Drums was an English manufacturer of percussion instruments established in 1968. [1] The company was founded by Ivor Arbiter with the help of the John E. Dallas Company whom sought to compete with American drum manufacturers. [2] The company went defunct in 1975, although attempts to re-launch the brand have led to the drums being produced intermittently in small batches by Taiwanese manufacturers. [3]
