FOR A CUSTOM DRUM -CONTACT ME or VISIT ONE OF THE OTHER AMERICAN DRUM BUILDERS ON MY LINKS PAGE.

all of the drums I make as well as those of the dealers I endorse are MADE IN the USA with as many AMERICAN parts as possible.

although many of the drums on this page have parts that were made in other countries, I am locating more and more American companies that make hardware, drum hoops, and other parts. Any future I build drums will have as much American hardware as I can find.

FINALLY: I will be glad to build a drum for anyone as I enjoy doing it and I think I do it pretty well; however, I do not build drums for a living like the headdrums.com or LTDdrums. SO - I suggest, if you are a professional wanting a drum that you will be using as part of your livelihood, consider these other builders.
