British Drum Co

About British Drum Co.

SEPTEMBER 2015: Award-winning master drum-maker Keith Keough, whose reputation stands industry-wide as one of the most exciting drum-makers in the world, teams up with: Ian Matthews, five-time no.1 album drummer with Kasabian; Al Murray, the award-winning comedian and well-known drumming obsessive; Stu Warmington, top-level military marching drummer and co-founder of The Highwaymen Drum Corps; Alan Kitching, product designer for many well-known global brands, to form the British Drum Co, one of the most exciting drum companies in the world. 
The British Drum Company adheres to the proudest traditions of British drum manufacturing, using only British-made shells, employing striking design and committing to constant innovation.

From Singapore Drum Shop's perspective, 

British Drum Company was founded by a team of UK craftsmen from Premier. If you recall the UK Made Premier Drums, they are essentially British Drum Co products. The difference is, these drums are made to the highest possible level with better quality materials and finishes. Very collectable and playable. 

Lounge Drum Kit 

Picture
The combination of this perfectly blended mahogany and birch shell gives life to a vibrant, full-bodied tone which is aided by our rounded-over 30-degree bearing edge. The kit is then beautifully finished with BDC's trademark mahogany and birch bass drum hoops, which are produced from the same mahogany and birch as both the Lounge and Legend Series drums.
Hand-made in our Cheshire workshop by our team of skilled craftsmen.

We have sold out of our last few sets of Lounge Drums in the older lug design with unique one-off veneers. Please contact us for orders!

Lounge Snare Drums

Lounge Series drums are formulated from a combination of 9 ply Mahogany and Scandinavian Birch which have been cross-laminated and cold-press moulded into a shell only 5.5mm thick. This results in super-strong, super-thin shells that produces a warm and complex tone. Like the Legend Series, these are precision hand-crafted drums and are incredibly versatile. The addition of Mahogany and 30-degree rounded-over bearing edges add a tremendous darker warmth and projection synonymous with the best vintage kits. These drums share the same wide tuning range to suit any musical situation, producing low fat tones when tuned down and a brighter warmth when tuned up.

Icarus Snare Drum

Picture
​What a stunning snare drum.

Nicko McBrain demands the very best. Working closely with the British Drum Co. team, Nicko’s no-compromise approach dictated that only the highest standards would make the grade for Icarus.

Nicko wouldn’t put his name to just any snare drum. Now you too can get your hands on Icarus, the wood shell snare drum that Nicko always dreamt of.

Hand-built in the UK using the British Drum Co.’s unique cold-press moulding process, Icarus features a 14” x 6.5” 10ply shell, crafted from Black Oak and finished in a spectacular Black Fishtail Oak veneer, creating a very special appearance reminiscent of a hand-hammered shell - but made from Oak! It really has to be seen to be appreciated.

Icarus sounds natural, deep and warm but with a bright presence under higher tension. Designed to powerfully cut through the high volume of rock and metal, Icarus responds equally well to softer, quieter playing, allowing the tonal qualities of the oak to shine through in any musical situation.

Nicko himself said, "Icarus is the wood shell snare drum I have dreamed about - it's my dream come true!"

Big Softy Snare Drum

​When you need your snare drum to deliver deep, warm and mellow tones, your first choice has to be the Big Softy.

This drum is designed to do all the hard work so you don’t have to. Recognised and loved by professionals as their “go to” studio snare drum, Big Softy also performs magnificently onstage, from the intimacy of a club jazz gig to the bombast of a full-blown arena rock show.

Handcrafted using cherry inner and outer veneers, Big Softy’s 14” x 6.5” shell encircles a central core of kiln-dried Balsa. Yes - Balsa! Don’t be turned-off by thoughts of model planes and crafting, Balsa is a seriously underrated wood and is perfectly suited to the Big Softy. This surprisingly light, open-density hardwood possesses a micro-pore grain structure which actively filters out higher frequencies, giving you a massive range of tonal possibilities. Big Softy is designed to enable higher batter head tension for a truly responsive rebound and still achieve bigger, warmer and funkier sounds without the need to detune. Absolutely at home in the studio, Big Softy is adored by drummers, producers and engineers.

Big Softy articulates every stroke so your playing is efficient and effortless whilst creating huge sounding backbeats.

Whether you want that classic “fatback” snare or a more contemporary complex tone, Big Softy is the drum for you.

Imp Snare Drum

The IMP shell is a combination of maple, tulip and birch, arranged to optimise volume and projection, these are cross laminated plies that utilise BDC's signature Cold Press Moulding technique which results in a super strong air gap free shell. BDC's precision hand cut 30-degree round-over bearing edges are used on the IMP which increase head to shell vibration to boost output.

The IMP is aimed at the professional looking for a compact size that can deliver. The 12x5.5 snare delivers an excellent sound with top of the range durability. It has great attack, but can be tuned up for tons of character or down lower for a fatter feel.
