Stanbridge Drum Company snare drums and drum kits are custom designed and built for each client according to their requirements. Our instruments may be ordered in virtually any combination of wood species, shell dimensions, hardware and finish options. I only build drums using the lathe-turned segment shell construction which I feel results in the most musical, stable and beautiful, solid wood instruments available anywhere.

Detailed quotations are based on a number of factors including the complexity of the shell design, availability of wood species, hardware and finish specified, and currency exchange - please contact me for more information.
