Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you get your drum shells and hardware?

We make our own drum shells. Using either metal spinning (aluminum, steel, copper, brass ) or casting technology (bronze, steel, brass, aluminum, ...)

We cast our own lugs and bass drum claws out of stainless steel.

We believe they are. They surely differ from their rolled/welded counterparts. Here's more on that topic - Why seamless?

There's no such thing as "bell brass". If you google that, you'll only find drums. Tama started using that phrase back in 80's. Bells are made of bronze - an alloy of copper and tin. Same as cymbals. Same as our Bellmaker® series of drums. And, yes, same as Tama's Bell Brass drums.

We have drum series, each metal and technology receives its name. Example: our copper drums made in metal spinning technology are named Bakar. Then, depending on the depth they receive a couple of numbers after it. Example: Bakar 65 is spun copper in 14x6.5. 14" is default in our nomenclature (a 13x6.5 Bakar would be named Bakar 1365 and 14x6.5 - only Bakar 65)

We're more of a boutique drum manufacturer than a custom drum company, but yes, we offer some customizations. Feel free to contact us with your ideas/requirements.

One of the main advantages of them is there's no chrome plating to eventually start chipping off. Just wipe them with a soft cloth. If they get any scuffs or small scratches, you can use a Cape Cod cloth to easily remove them.
