DRUM FACTORY - Key Persons


Callum Vertigan

A keen young man who has now spent time between both sides of our store, guitars and drums. Callum currently assists our team on a casual basis.

Craig Sue

Craig is a veteran of our store, having been with us the longest out of any staff member (bar the owners) - he vigilantly oversees our stock management and shipping, our store grinds to a halt fairly quickly without him working behind the scenes every day. He's responsible for your orders reaching you safely, time after time.

Lewis Mallia

Job Titles:
  • Owner
Owner of over 35 years and company director, Lewis is the glue that holds our store together. Our most universally knowledgable team member, Lewis was actually responsible for Drum Factories earliest form, when Guitar Factory had never sold percussion products at all.

Nick Pansini

Nick is a professional drummer with over 30 years of experience and has been in the retail industry for over 20 years, our department manager for Drum Factory. As a professional drummer Nick has toured both domestically and internationally, and has recorded with many different artists during this time. He has an extensive understanding about the mechanics of drums and percussion due to his experience from playing, building and repair work. If you're into anything drum related - trust us, Nick is the person you'll want to speak to.

Pete Kostic

Pete is our newest Drum Factory team member but by no means a fresh face in the Sydney music community, coming to us from other well known stores with plenty of experience to help you choose to right percussion products.
