MISSION STATEMENT

  At Detroit Custom Drums, our goal is to build a great quality drum, to the customers specifications, for a good price.  We are not caught up in the trends of today.  We build timeless drums that you will be happy with even after the flavor-of-the-month is gone and forgotten, while still attempting to push the design boundaries....

NEWS

   December 2007 - The Chopzini snare is finally finished.  Hoping to have pictures of it eventually, but you know how it goes...
   Another stock snare has been completed, and is now for sale.  It is a 6.5"x14" Vintage Mahogany with a Green Sparkle Wrap & Beefy Tube Lugs.  Check out the pics in the GALLERY, or  in the SPECIALS to the right...

   February 2007
- Still waiting on the paint job for the Chopzini snare to be completed.  Should be done by Summer, but don't hold me to it.
   Prices on ALL snares will be sliced 25% until the end of March.  Prices current pricing can be found HERE.

   November 2006 - Pricing is now up on the website for Toms, Basses, and Snares.  Pleas email us for a custom quote if there is something you want but do not see.
   On a semi-related note, until further notice, we will ONLY be providing finished in solid stains with satin oil or polyurethane top coats, or laminate wraps.  This is to keep costs down, and for lack of spraying facilities to do proper hi-gloss top coats.
   Due to some miss-communications between the end client & the painter, the Chopzini Customs snare drum is still being worked on.  Hopefully it will be done by the end of the year...

   August 2006 - The first Detroit Custom Drums prototype lug is complete (pic).  There will be a few minor changes to it before it starts going on our drums, but the overall look will be the same.
  The plans for a full kit for CHOPZINI CUSTOMS is also now being finalized.  Their snare drum is being finished up at the painters now, and pics should be up within a week or so...

   July 2006
- Work has now begun on a prototype drum lug that will be EXCLUSIVE on our tubs.  This lug will be made by EGO Drum Supply out of Oregon, USA.  Look for a glimpse of these here in the next few weeks...
 
   June 2006
- A recently completed piccolo snare is now for sale.  See the 'For Sale' column to the right for more details...
 
  April 2006
- Work has begun on a unique snare drum for CHOPZINI CUSTOMS, a custom chopper company out of Milford, MI.  This drum will be 8x14, and have custom DICE lugs & a custom paint job by MATTHEW HOCKADAY.  There is also a good possibility we will build an entire kit for the promotional use of CHOPZINI CUSTOMS.   Check back soon for pics of this killer snare drum...
