Kings Custom Drums

Kings Custom Drums Creating custom snare drums from a variety of shell materials, tones, and features. It's an opportunity for a disabled drummer to serve the drumming community.

All drums crafted by drummers for drummers to have for a long, long, long time. Kings Custom Drums focuses on creating quality snare drums to be used and enjoyed for years to come. I hand-pick the shells, do most of the shell staining/lacquering as well as…

Hardware
Bearing edges
Snare beds
Throw-off and butt plates
Hoops
Snare strainers

In short, each drum is carefully crafted into something

I myself would enjoy owning and playing. Although, the playing part has become something I do infrequently these days because of my Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) diagnosis, more commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). But even though I’m not physically able to play, my love for drumming hasn’t diminished. And since I’ve always collected snare drums — appreciating the tonal differences produced by various shell diameters, woods and metals — using the energy I have to create custom snares keeps me in the music scene and provides a much-needed creative outlet. My goal, then, for Kings Custom Drums, is that you’ll find a one-of-a-kind snare to add to your collection, a drum that amplifies your own musical legacy.

*As I approach my 10-year disability anniversary, I’ll be donating 5% of each sale to ME/CFS research. It’s one way I can participate in finding a cure for this awful disease.

Here’s a quick update on this custom build Burn Technique Bubinga Snare (7” x 14”; 8.4mm thick; CVL). So grateful to be able to build this for my friend as he gave me some great ideas to try out, including finishing the inside with a black stain :)). Can’t wait to hear clips of this out and about!!!
