About Us

Welcome to Rimshot Apparel, where passion meets performance! Founded by Luke Chemidlin, a lifelong member of the marching arts community, Rimshot Apparel is more than just a clothing brand—it's a celebration of the drive, dedication, and community that define the marching arts.

Growing up immersed in the world of indoor percussion, marching band, Drum Corps, and WGI, Luke developed a deep appreciation for the values of precision, discipline, and creativity. These experiences inspired him to create something meaningful for the community—a way to give back and support the people and art form that have left such a lasting impact on his life.

Rimshot Apparel was born out of this love for the marching arts and the desire to create something that would resonate with performers, educators, and fans alike. Our mission is to provide high-quality, stylish, and functional clothing that reflects the spirit of this unique world. But Rimshot Apparel isn’t just about apparel; it’s about making a statement.

At Rimshot, we believe in the power of connection—the way a perfectly executed performance brings people together, the way shared struggles and triumphs forge lasting friendships, and the way the marching arts teach us to persevere and strive for excellence. These values drive everything we do, from the designs we create to the community we aim to build.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Whether you’re in the lot, on the field, or in the stands, Rimshot Apparel is here to celebrate the moments that matter and to remind you that every performance, like every life, is built one beat at a time.

Together, let’s make some noise.
