Ever since Great Bend native Jeff Sallee played drums in the Argonne Rebels Bugle Corps more than 30 years ago, he’s been captivated by the percussion sound. Sallee and long-time friend Mark Schnose, a Hays native, have turned their lifetime fascination with percussion into a money-making endeavor with their company Visionary Directions LLC in California.They created the Qube Shaker, an innovative percussion shaker. Beads are captured in a qube structure that can be used by conga and shaker players.
