Chicago Drum

Chicago Drum is a boutique percussion manufacturer rooted in the long tradition of American drum craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from the historic legacy of classic drum production in the Chicago area, the company focuses on building high-quality drum kits, drum components, and vintage-style drum hardware designed for musicians who value precision construction and authentic tone. With deep connections to the historic Slingerland drum tradition, Chicago Drum combines traditional woodworking skills, careful finishing techniques, and modern machining to produce percussion instruments that honor classic drum design while meeting the expectations of today’s drummers.

Known for its meticulous attention to detail, Chicago Drum also specializes in accurate reproduction drum parts and restoration components, including vintage-correct hardware such as Slingerland-style badge grommets and specialty drum fittings that are difficult to source elsewhere. This dedication to craftsmanship allows drummers, collectors, and drum builders to restore and maintain classic instruments with historically accurate parts. By blending traditional drum-making knowledge with modern manufacturing capability, Chicago Drum continues to support the percussion community with custom drums, vintage drum restoration parts, and precision drum hardware inspired by classic American drum design.
