PORTABLE DRUMS DESIGNED FOR DRUMMERS.

 

We aren’t all playing arena rock shows with huge stages. Your drums don’t need to overpower the band or take over the stage or the van.

Fewer trips lugging gear around is good thing. Beautiful drums with great tone is a great thing.

Make fewer trips.
Enjoy a smaller footprint.
Control your volume.
Stand out with style.
 “As a sound tech and drummer, these drums strike the perfect balance between tone and volume.”

– Michael, USA

I can’t believe how easy these drums were to tune! It took minutes to get them just where I want them.”

– Ronnie, UK

“The bass drum is a total game changer, super portable and such a boom! What a sound!”

– Roberto, UK

How We Build Our Drums

Shells

We use Nordic Shells for their percise construction, use of local hardwoods, and better sound and visual, and strength characteristics.  Most of our shells are Maple hardwood that are designed specifically for drum performance. We cut, sand and drill the shells in our shop, using a granite surface plate to achieve a bilateral accuracy of +/- .0001 inch.  If you would like to request other shells types from other LOCAL MI hardwoods, please lets us know (ie. Ash, Walnut, Cherry, etc.)

Hoop Options

Maple Wood – Yamaha Style. We love the look and style of these hoops! They provide fatter rimshots and nice focused sound. You can also have the hoops finished in the color you love. 

Chrome Die-Cast. A popular option as they provide focused sound and moderate sustain. Being a heavier, rigid option, they also allow for more fine-tuning. 

Chrome 2.3 mm Triple Flange. If you prefer a lively, open sound these are a good choice. 

 

Drumheads

We proudly partner with Aquarian for all of our drumheads.  We have worked from their large catalouge of drumheads styles for many yeears and have found that offer the best sound options. Especially their patented muffled bass drum heads. 

Snare and tom heads come in white textured matte.

Aquarain Resoanant bass drum heads are stamped with the Farmer logo and available in white, black or vintage.  

Bearing Edge

We use a Dual 45 Degree Edge (peak at the center) to get a wider tuning range and longer sustain. We also apply a slight roundover to get a slightly warmer tone and longer lasting edge.

Finishing and Colors

We do all of our finish work in-house and hand mix our eight custom Farmer color options. We used water-based lacquers and dyes that are a healthy option for the environment and people. We finish the interior and exterior of the shells to protect against environmental damage and surface wear and also for a beautiful, polished look.  Mix or match your shells and wood hoops!

Hardware

We use Pete Farmer designed low-mass lugs (with leather gaskets) and classic curved drum spurs.

Floor tom modifications are an option if you are okay with slightly less height overall as an option.  Clamps and mounting types are also subject to your custom needs.

Timing

It will depend a bit on what your order is, but it would be safe to count on it taking 2-3 weeks for us to build and ship your drums to you.
