Kings Custom Drums

Every sale supports ME/CFS & Long COVID research. 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…

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.
