Jester House of Designs was formed in 2007 by avid collectors, Brian Feldman and Ken Rodenas. Frustrated with the lack of cool, high quality methods for displaying collectible drumsticks, they set out to design their own. After a few months of designing and prototyping, the Stick N' Stack was born.

 

Jester House of Designs' success is due in large part to the personal relationships formed with the artists that they have met along the way. Their collections have always been about the people behind the music. Jester House of Designs aims to aid collectors who recognize the gift of inspiration given to us all by musicians and artists. The pragmatic design of the Stick N' Stack allows for a wide range of customizable, personalized options. See the Custom Shop page for details.

 

Already a "hit" with fellow drumstick collectors, Jester House of Designs has been asked to design and manufacturer display methods for other types of collectibles. So look for new product lines coming soon!

Brian "Jester" Feldman is the creative force behind Jester's House of Designs. Through his many associations with notable rock stars and music industry personnel, he has built up a collection of rock-n-roll memorabilia to rival any museum.  From years of being in and around the music business, he has gained knowledge, insight and experience to help shape products and designs geared specifically to solve the

issues facing collectors.           

 

As with many music fans, it all started with Jester's first

exposure to the Beatles, which began a lifelong journey into appreciation for the artists that inspire people with their music. His current extensive collection had small beginnings with a complete set of vinyl KISS albums. As KISS merchandising expanded, so did the variety of types of items added to his stockpile. He has acquired a numerous amount of autographed photos, record awards, drum skins, drumsticks and guitar picks, all of which were signed in person. Jester accumulated a variety of unique pieces from his time on the road with groups like Union, Vince Neil, Vixen, Ratt, Slaughter, Quiet Riot, Tesla, Skid Row, Jackyl, Warrant, Poison, Helix, Bullet Boys, Enuff Z'nuff.

 

Jester has also been acknowledged on the credits of a few internationally released CD's and DVD's. As well as being thanked in the credits by Bruce Kulick on the Union disc Live in the Galaxy (Deadline Records), there is a great photo of Jester showing off his Union tattoo on the center spread of the inside cover! He is also given special thanks on the Union DVD, Do Your Own Thing (Creative Worx Entertainment). He also has drum tech credits on the live disc Vince Neil Live at the Whiskey - One Night Only (VNS Records). During that time, not only was he working in a technical capacity for the band, he was also Vince Neil's personal assistant, which led to many more introductions to people in the trade. Keep your eyes out for the rare collectable Vince Neil picks with Jester's logo on them from his days touring with the band.

 

Since then, Jester has honed his artistic eye working with printing and graphics. He has developed a keen sense for composition, color and finishing of printed materials. Combined with his knowledge and skills of shop tools and mechanics, this gives him a unique design sensitivity that lends itself to innovation.

Ken Rodenas been collecting guitar picks, drumsticks and other stage used items for over 25 years. Along the way, he came to realize the bands and manufacturers kept very little records. So a large part of his collecting involves tedious research where he interviews fellow fans & collectors, road crew members and band members themselves, building many industry friendships along the way.

 

As a champion of the hobby, his online catalog of work include Kissonline's Picks-N-Sticks, Trick's Picks, The Guitar Picks and Drumsticks of ZZ Top which are dedicated to his 3 favorite bands, KISS, Cheap Trick and ZZ Top.  He also contributed to the official websites of Bruce Kulick, Eric Singer, Brent Fitz and Changes.

 

His knowledge and collection have been published in printed form in volume 5 of "Official KISS Quarterly magazine", Warmam's KISS Collectibles Field Guide by Tom Shannon (KP Books, 2005), The Official Price Guide to KISS Collectibles by Ingo Floren (Random House, 2004) and Guitar Picks of Rock & Roll by Brian Bouchard  (gateway Press, 2008).
