Productive Wood Drum Shell Manufacturing and Modification
All of our drum shells are manufactured from hand picked quality poplar wood panels. The wood mill cuts and delivers to our factory proper sizes for our shells by a computer-controlled saw. After the gluing, rolling, drying, and sanding process, the drum shells are checked for a level check, and measured for accuracy at a 15% sample rate. Next, the laminate wrap is applied, and holes are drilled into the shell for hardware, and sands down the edges of the shell for snare beds. Next, all hardware, drum heads, and snare wires are assembled to the drum shells. Finally, before packaging and shipping to our warehouse distribution location, our quality control technician visually inspects all the drums, and does a performance sound sample with a 5% sample rate. Once the inspections passes our standards, the finished production ships direct to our loading dock, where our sound technicians perform yet another & final sound sample before we enter the inventory as ready to be fulfilled.
We Take Sound Serious.
Our instruments and studio equipment are sound sampled by our hired sound technician. We focus on being competitive, all while not sacrificing quality of sound. Since most everyone at our brand has an extensive musical background, we are very rigorous in the sound quality process of equipment. Additionally, it allows us to act quickly and communicate efficiently with our factories production manager on when we see a need for improvement. Before and after each batch run from the factory, our instruments are sampled to confirm the quality, pitch and sound specs remain consistent from our previous production orders.

Drum arrived on time, as promised. I immediately removed and discarded the crappy batter and snare heads that came with the drum (produced at "The People's Glorious Musical Instrument and Fishing Equipment Worker's Paradise Factory No.34"), replaced by Evans 14" Black Hydraulic Batter head and Evans 500 Clear Snare head, also tossed the stock snares and replaced them with Puresound Equalizer 16 strand snares. After reassembly, application of a couple of Moongel pads on the inside of the Snare head and proper tuning , this drum sounds FANTASTIC, especially considering that it cost less than $100 even with all the upgrades. I'll play in the head for a while, and post a further review after it's been broken in properly. Now that I've had a close look at the quality of the shell and hardware, I would definitely recommend this instrument to a friend.

I bought this snare when I started working on some demos. I read the reviews and watched some videos that stated you should change the head on it. I did purchase a San Remo head to replace it with but have yet to change it. I figure the head that came with it wont last much longer but thats ok. This drum has a nice sound and is easy to adjust and tune.

Look, it's 50 bucks, ok? But all the lug screws were loose. The brochure says to buy a premium head because the one supplied will not last long, which is hilarious! But overall it's fine for beginners. I bought this as a backup.--PS: the supplied head does not seem to be bad quality, but I did order a Evans black hydraulic because that's what I like.

I bought this for my four year old son who loves everything marching bands and music. He loves it. I don’t know much about drums. It does seem very sturdy.

I like how quick it made it to my house. The value of money is good and the drum itself has all the right tools for beginners.
