HANDCRAFTED…REALLY

All of the major corporate manufacturers of drums and most of the boutique drum builders use automated technology in all or some stages of the drum making process. That usually includes CNC routers and woodcutters. At Seven Six Drum Company, we build drums one at a time BY HAND. You'll see in the videos below that every step of the process is a very hands-on method, from selecting and cutting the wood into staves, putting those staves together to create a shell, turning the shell into a spherical shape, etc…nothing is left up to a computer, so you know your drum will be built with love and care. Bonus (what we call “lagniappe” here in New Orleans): you'll receive photos and video of the process as I move forward through your build, so you can see your custom snare drum or bass drum as it takes shape.
