About the Company 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 our customers tell us the result is apparent from the moment the drum case is opened. Our focus is on building drums which, first and foremost, sound brilliant -- but we also strive to create objects of beauty. Our years of experience suggest which species of wood, bearing edge profile or snare bed will fulfil a client's objectives, but the wood itself often directs the flow of the visual design. The goal is to make each instrument the perfect marriage of Art and Sound. Stanbridge Drum Company was recently selected by the world's largest drumstick maker, Pro-Mark, to design and build their 50th Anniversary commemorative snare drum. This very limited, very exclusive edition is the perfect marriage of our fine artisan craftsmanship and the Pro-Mark aesthetic of quality and style. Watch upcoming issues of magazines such as Modern Drummer and DRUM! magazine for full details, or click here to view our mini Pro-Mark 50th Anniversary drum page.
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

Welcome
to the Stanbridge Drum Company, and thank you for visiting our new
website. We are a small, family-owned business located in Newfoundland,
Canada, near the Easternmost point in North America. 
Our
limited edition series of Ancient Kauri snare drums have been of
particular interest to many customers and website readers. 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.
