Our mission is to handcraft the finest wood drums in the world. We invest a tremendous amount of time, effort and care in each instrument, and the result is apparent from the moment the drum case is opened.

"The focus is on building a drum which sounds good first, but I also want to create a beautiful object." says owner Pete Stanbridge. "Experience suggests which species of wood, bearing edge profile or snare bed will fulfil a client's objectives, but the wood itself often leads when the visual design process begins. The goal is to make each instrument the perfect marriage of Art and Sound".

We hope you enjoy your visit to our website. We've added lots of new instruments in our Drums section, along with some more current information on our wood species, finish options and Hardwood Hoops. There are also many more detail photos to get you up close to our instruments.

Finally, be sure not to miss our new limited edition series of Ancient Kauri snare drums. This remarkable recovered timber has been Radiocarbon dated to over 50,000 years old, and has an incredible resonant voice which makes for a dark, rich sounding instrument. See the World's First Ancient Kauri drum here.

As always we'd love to hear your thoughts regarding our instruments or website, so please feel free to drop us a line when you are through browsing. Thanks again for visiting.

Sincerely;

Pete Stanbridge
